KIEV, July 28 (RIA Novosti) - Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko does not intend to cancel any of her scheduled visits, including a visit to Russia, where she is accused of bribing high officials.
"I will hold all of my scheduled visits, including [my visit] to Russia," Timoshenko said Thursday.
She did not announce the date of her trip to Russia, saying her schedule needed to be coordinated.
Timoshenko's visit to Russia this April was postponed.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko said there were simply technical aspects that they had to take care of and, therefore, the visit was postponed. "We have to work on the preparations for the next visit, which will certainly take place," he said.
The issues were connected with the sowing campaign in Ukraine.
Timoshenko is accused of bribing high officials in the Russian Defense Ministry. Russia placed Timoshenko on an international wanted list after she refused to come to Russia for interrogation.
Russian law enforcers say that as prime minister, Timoshenko has diplomatic immunity. Russian General Prosecutor Vladimir Ustinov said in April at the Federation Council that the case was not closed and Timoshenko was still on the wanted list. "Timoshenko's visit to Russia will be held in accordance with protocol and international regulations," Ustinov said.
