Tymoshenko sues in U.S. Courts

The case seeks to represent all Ukrainian people in a class action and was filed under U.S. racketeering law and the Alien Torts Statute, a law that allows foreigners seeking damages for violations of international human rights laws to sue in U.S. courts. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
From Bloomberg emphasis mine, a PR stunt for the Ukrainian public and way of putting pressure on her enemies back home. I can't see this going far in U.S. courts, how can she represent all Ukrainian people?
