Would have to pay back or had to pay back
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a statement the verdict showed justice was being applied selectively in politically motivated prosecutions.
Russia's foreign ministry also criticised the verdict, saying the ruling had an "obvious anti-Russian subtext".
'Shame, shame'
Riot police stood outside the court as thousands of supporters and opponents gathered. There have been minor clashes and some arrests.
In his ruling, Judge Rodion Kireyev said the former prime minister would also have to pay back 1.5bn hrivnas ($186m; £119m) lost by the state gas company as a result of the deal.
She has also been banned from political office for three years, with implications for her role in next year's parliamentary elections.
As the verdict was read out, Mrs Tymoshenko spoke over the judge, saying she would fight to defend her honest name.
Please look at the red-colored sentence.
