As of today the article includes the following text:
Dnipropetrovsk is the birth place of the former Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia Tymoshenko, whose trial, jailing, and alleged abuses in prison were central in the political debate in and about Ukraine in April 2012.[1][2]
The explosions came out the same day as pictures of bruises and scratches on her body, allegedly documenting abuses suffered in prison, after a one-week hunger strike as an appeal for receiving treatment abroad for her chronic back pain.[3]
The European Union and several of its member states, notably Germany, have been pressuring the Yanukovich government in order to halt the detention of Tymoshenko in fear of her degrading health.[1]EU-Ukraine relations have been strained by the issue, considered by EU leaders as a politically motivated trial.[3] The Association Agreement and the deep and comprehensive free trade agreement between Ukraine and the bloc have been delayed since late 2011 and not been signed yet.[4] Several meetings with Yanukovich have been diserted by EU leaders, including the German president Joachim Gauck.[5][6]
Opposition MPs in Ukraine have called for EU government officials to boycott the Euro 2012 soccer championship.[5]
In April 2012, the top PR consultancy Burson-Marsteller was hired by Ukraine's ruling Party of Regions (PoR), "to help the PoR communicate its activities as the governing party of Ukraine, as well as to help it explain better its position on the Yulia Tymoshenko case", as explained by Robert Mack, a senior manager at Burson-Marsteller.[7]
How is any of this linked to the explosion? Especially "Ukraine's ruling Party of Regions hiring top PR consultancy Burson-Marsteller" seems not even closely related to these explosions.... Another editor who dreams of becoming a journalist at work? Lets delete some of this... — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 01:00, 10 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
