Dmytro Bulatov, who says he was abducted and tortured for more than a week, may receive medical treatment in Germany, a Ukrainian Member of Parliament (MP) said on Saturday.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking outside the Borys Hospital in Kiev where Bulatov is being treated, Mykola Katerynchuk said that his party \" the Batkivschyna (Fatherland) Party (the party of imprisoned former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko) is now initiating the process of transporting Dima (Dymtro Bulatov) to Germany for treatment.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAndriy Teleydzhenko, an assistant to another Ukrainian MP, Dmytro Andreewsky, said that Bulatov is currently unconscious, \"doctors are handling the situation\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eAdding, \"After eight days of beating (being beaten), you have to understand that he has very bad health problems.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBulatov, who was in charge of a vocal protest group before he disappeared on 22 January, recounted a gruesome ordeal after walking into a house outside Kiev on Thursday night after being dumped in a forest, according to an Interior Ministry statement. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said his unidentified kidnappers beat him, sliced off part of his ear and nailed him to a door during his time in captivity.\u003cbr/\u003eHe went missing one day after Igor Lutsenko, another prominent opposition activist who had also disappeared, was discovered after being taken to woods and beaten\u003cbr/\u003eseverely by unknown attackers.\u003cbr/\u003eHis disappearance has fuelled fears among anti-government activists that extra-judicial squads are being deployed to intimidate the protest movement.\u003cbr/\u003eUS Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt and Canadian Ambassador to Ukraine Troy Lulashnyk were seen visiting the hospital.\u003cbr/\u003eTeleydzhenko said that they were unable to see Bulatov due to his condition.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that he had been told Bulatov is free to leave Ukraine and would be able to receive treatment in Germany.\u003cbr/\u003eHe called for \"actual action\" from Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych \"to provide a change of policy in the country as soon as possible.\"\u003cbr/\u003eUkrainian opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who is also at the conference, said \"The political solution is still on the table.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"The Ukrainian opposition is ready to take over the responsibility over the government,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eUkraine has faced two months of major protests that started after President Viktor Yanukovych backed off an agreement to deepen ties with the European Union in favour of relations with Moscow.\u003cbr/\u003eThe protests had been mostly peaceful until mid-January, when demonstrators angered by new anti-protest laws launched violent clashes with police. \u003cbr/\u003eThree protesters died in the clashes, two of them from gunshot wounds.
