(FILES) -- A file photo taken on February 2, 2011 shows Ukraine's former Prime Minister and leader of the opposition Yulia Tymoshenko posing in her residence in Kiev during an interview with AFP. Ukraine's parliament on February 21, 2014 overwhelmingly backed a law that could pave the way for the quick release of jailed opposition leader and former premier Yulia Tymosehnko. A total of 310 deputies in the 450-seat Verkhovna Rada voted to decriminalise the "abuse of power" statute under which Tymoshenko was jailed for seven years in 2010. The measure must still be signed by Ukraine's president to enter into force. AFP PHOTO / SERGEI SUPINSKY

This handout picture taken and released by the Batkivshyna press service on February 22, 2014 shows Ukraine's jailed pro-Western opposition icon Yulia Tymoshenko leaving the hospital in Kharkiv. Tymoshenko walked free on February 22 moments after parliament voted to oust the country's embattled President Viktor Yanukovych and set new elections for May. The latest developments in the ex-Soviet nation's three-month political crisis came after protesters took control of Kiev's charred city centre and seized Yanukovych's lavish residence on a day of dramatic twists and turns. Tymoshenko -- a fiery 53-year-old co-leader of the 2004 pro-democracy Orange Revolution whose freedom has been sought strongly by both Washington and the European Union -- waved to hundreds of supporters chanting "free Yulia!".
