- NABU published video showing officials opening envelopes filled with U.S. dollars in an office, with a woman present whose face was blurred but whose braided hairstyle resembled Tymoshenko’s.
- Yulia Tymoshenko rejected the allegations as baseless and described the operation as a politically motivated publicity stunt.
