KIEV, Aug. 11 - Batkivschyna party leader and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko is continuing to insist on combining a criminal case against her, which deals with the 2009 Ukrainian-Russian gas supply agreements, with the case against former chief of Energy Regional Customs Taras Shepitko and former head of the Ukrainian Customs Service Anatoliy Makarenko and the case against former Naftogaz First Deputy CEO Ihor Didenko.

"All these cases should be combined. They were separated to make it impossible to gather the picture of unprecedented corruption in the top governing bodies," Tymoshenko said. "We have filed a motion on combining these cases, as they should not be considered separately," Tymoshenko said at a court session on Thursday.
