KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich poured scorn on his jailed rival, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, on Wednesday, saying the question of her imprisonment should not hinder Kiev's integration with the European Union.
Days before an EU summit, where he had been expected to sign a landmark free trade pact before his government's about-face last week, Yanukovich questioned Brussels characterisation of her jailing as politically motivated.
