 “It pains me to see that the Kyiv mayor is in league with Yanukovych,” Tymoshenko said.
Under the law, polling stations for patients are to be set up in hospitals.
 “I was shocked to learn from chiefs of some of Kyiv hospitals that they had been ordered by the city authorities to make their patients vote for Yanukovych,” Tymoshenko added.
Deputy mayor Irena Kilchytska, the premier went on, comes to hospitals to take copies of patients’ passports. Meanwhile, the patients are told to leave hospitals until Monday. The copies of their passports will be used to fake their ballots during the voting at polling stations located in hospitals, Yulia Tymoshenko recounted.
“This is the return to Soviet-era methods,” Tymoshenko concluded.
