Ukraine Accuses Former PM Tymoshenko of Bribery

Ukraine's anti-corruption bureau has accused former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko of bribery.

They say she was involved in a scheme where lawmakers were paid to vote a certain way.

Tymoshenko denies these accusations and says she will clear her name in court.

This is part of a bigger effort to fight corruption in Ukraine, which is important for the country's goal of joining the European Union.

The bureau has been investigating several lawmakers and high-ranking officials for similar issues.

Tymoshenko's political influence has decreased over the years, with her party holding only a few seats in the parliament.
