Moskalenko mengatakan, dia menandatangani perjanjian itu 'meskipun hal itu dilakukan dibawah tekanan, dan satu tindakan ilegal untuk pemecatan,' serta mengisyaratkan bahwa tindakan itu dikaitkan dengan penjelasan penahanan para pengacara Khodorkovsky di bandara Moskow Ahad.
Moskalenko said she signed, though it was done under pressure, and illegal to boot, and suggested that the act was linked to the brief detention of Khodorkovsky's lawyers in Moscow airport Sunday.
