http://www.euronews.net/ A Kiev court will hand down its verdict on Tuesday in the corruption trial of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
Prosecutors are seeking a seven year jail term, accusing her of paying too much in a 2009 gas deal with Russia.
EU officials warn it could jeopardise President Viktor Yanukovych's goal of closer ties with Brussels.
But the former PM's critics say the EU should not interfere and that Tymoshenko has a case to answer.
