The Terrifying Dream of Yulia Tymoshenko

Do you know what the terrifying dream of Yulia Tymoshenko is? Let me explain. The immigration court in San Francisco has not yet made a decision on Pavel Lazarenko's petition for political asylum. This means the court can either allow him to stay in the USA or deport him to Ukraine. Previously, Lazarenko could not be extradited to Ukraine because there was an anti-democratic regime here, but the USA also did not want to keep him because he had been convicted of a criminal offense. Now, however, the USA considers the government in Ukraine to be quite democratic. According to the logic of the American government, Lazarenko is no longer in danger, he can return to Ukraine and honestly defend his name. The immigration judge in the USA is an employee of the Department of Justice. Lazarenko's status in the USA has been unclear for a year and a half – since November 1, 2012, when he was released from prison. This means that a decision on deportation to Ukraine could be made any day now. So, Lazarenko's return is the terrifying dream of Yulia Tymoshenko.
