The criminal case of Yulia Timoshenko will be investigated according to the Russian law, said Vladimir Ustinov, Russia's Prosecutor General. He added that the court would decide on Ms. Timoshenko's possible arrest. "The Yulia Timoshenko case does not exist, but there is a case involving Yulia Timoshenko," stressed Mr. Ustinov.
