KIEV, April 11 - MP Inna Bohoslovska, who chairs a provisional parliamentary investigative commission probing the signing of gas agreements with Russia, said ex-prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko issued wrongful instructions to sign gas contracts between Naftogaz Ukrayiny and Russia's Gazprom in 2009.

"The instructions were in fact unacceptable for Ukraine. Therefore almost all Cabinet members refused to vote for them. By law, the prime minister had no right to sign a document which gave the go-ahead to the conclusion of gas agreements," Bohoslovska said at a press conference at Interfax in Kiev on Monday.
