"I understood nothing from what Azarov said, not even a word," Tymoshenko, a native speaker of Russian, told the court. "I don't understand Russian."
Tymoshenko, currently Ukraine's opposition leader, is being prosecuted for signing a 2009 gas contract with Russian gas company Gazprom which Kiev says is disadvantageous to Ukraine and which, according to the new government that came to power last year, Tymoshenko had no right to sign.
Friday's court hearing was delayed for half an hour because Tymoshenko was late to appear in the courtroom. During the hearing, state prosecutor Lilia Frolova asked the court once again to arrest Tymoshenko rather than just maintain its current ban on her traveling outside Kiev after the defendant accused Azarov of corruption while he was giving his testimony.
In late July, the court rejected a previous request by the prosecutor to arrest Tymoshenko, who is accused of constantly disrupting order in the court room and deliberately procrastinating.
The judge again rejected on Friday a request by Tymoshenko's new lawyer, Yuriy Sukhov, to delay the trial to provide him additional time to study case materials, which occupy thousands of pages. Sukhov became Tymoshenko's lawyer on Monday after her previous lawyer was removed from the case by the presiding judge for contempt of court because he continually refused to stand when the judge entered the courtroom.
The court also rejected Tymoshenko's request to have the judge removed.
Friday's session took place amid demonstrations on Kiev's central Khreshchatyk Avenue staged by supporters and opponents of the former prime minister.
Besides the gas case, the ex-premier also faces charges of misusing $425 million that her government received in 2009 from the selling its carbon emission rights under the Kyoto protocol. She faces up to ten years behind bars if found guilty.
Tymoshenko has repeatedly dismissed all charges brought against her as political, saying she is being targeted for opposing President Viktor Yanukovych, who narrowly beat her in the presidential election in February 2010.

Once you have done this, set the burn speed to 4x and click Burn and wait for it to
complete. Say you're doing as well at Chemistry, and as you are doing at Maths Extension 2, then instead of splitting your study time equally between the two (just because they are both worth 2 units each), you should spend more time on Extension 2, simply because it scales higher.

And indeed Robert has made the paramount sterling effort,
guided by his mentor, with beads of perspiration on
his brow, Robert has brought it in to the landing net.
Here is some helpful information so you can select a good charter boat and avoid a few of the pitfalls.
Yet sometimes a net is better to use because it usually doesn't harm the fish and will most likely be easier for you to prepare the fish for later.

I say this because this was the only cab company that picked up the phone on
the first ring. What we can do is to really accept what we did while
forgiving that part of us that was unaware of
what we were doing or how it would impact other people;
the part that just doesn't always get it right. I would recommend having a Mimosa out on the patio overlooking the waterway.
