Ukrainian state prosecutors insist on the seven-year jail term for the country's ex-premier Yulia Tymoshenko.
"We urge to sentence Yulia Vladimirovna [Tymoshenko] to seven-year imprisonment," a prosecutor, Liliya Frolova said.
Tymoshenko, 50, has been on trial since June for abuse of office over a gas deal signed with Russia in 2009.
