Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has appeared without her signature braid wrapped around her head for the first time in eight months. \n \nA journalist from "Vysokyi Zamok" witnessed this during an interview with Tymoshenko. \n \nWhen asked whether letting her braid down signaled a change of image, Tymoshenko replied: \n \n"No, today is the first day I came without a braid, I was in a big hurry and didn't have time to braid it. It takes a little time to do that…" \n \n"The braid is already a state of soul," she added. \n \nCommenting on the signing by President Viktor Yushchenko and Party of Regions leader Viktor Yanukovych of a Memorandum of Understanding between the authorities and the opposition, Tymoshenko said that "one cannot make such abrupt steps, they are incomprehensible to many people." \n \n"A strange situation, the Donetsk team has received an indulgence, the president is practically friends with the Kuchma family. They sometimes have lunch and dinner together…," Tymoshenko added. \n \nShe also stated that the Prosecutor General's Office had received a "command" to revive criminal cases against her. \n \n"Literally just before you, I had a representative of the Prosecutor General's Office. This was a person who once carried out Leonid Danylovych's orders and fabricated cases against me. But he came now and said that a direct instruction had been issued, and they are confused, they don't know what to do. They thought they would no longer be forced to do this, and suddenly everything is coming full circle," said Tymoshenko.
