Kiev: Yevgenia Tymoshenko, daughter of jailed ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has warned that the country’s upcoming elections could end up in an irreversible “dictatorship”.
Yulia has been sentenced to seven years in prison for abusing of office charges. She and Western states view it as a way of putting her on the sideline from politics.
“If the democratic world and the observer missions (do) not state at the end of the day that (Sunday’s elections) are not free and not fair, we might see the legitimisation of a Ukrainian dictatorship, of a Yanukovych dictatorship,” Yevgenia said in Geneva, according to The Telegraph.
“And then it will be really too late to save Ukraine democracy.”
Yulia is hoping the current regime will be forced out and her release will be secured.
Surveys suggest that most people of the country are not expecting free and fair election.
