KIEV, Oct. 15 - Ukraine has published an international audit saying the former government of Yulia Tymoshenko misappropriated hundreds of millions of dollars, the Financial Times reported.

The move was denounced by her supporters as politically motivated. Publication of the 176-page audit seemed to mark an escalation in a campaign by the administration of Viktor Yanukovych, elected president in February, to discredit the leader of the Orange Revolution and former prime minister and Orange Revolution leader.
