Yulia tymoshenko takes ukraine in her iron hands

Yulia Tymoshenko, the new Prime Minister of Ukraine, has launched her large-scale activities from the very first day of her stay in the office. It is obvious that everything that the lady is doing now is connected with the pre-election campaign, which is set to start in Ukraine in at the end of 2009.
Yulia Tymoshenko, the “iron lady of Ukraine” is determined to become Ukraine’s next president. The biography of the prime minister and the first steps that she takes of the position which she takes for the second time show that the president’s office is her primary goal.
To begin with, Tymoshenko decided to clear the power of corruption. “We start the power-cleansing process. I will do everything not to let dirty shadow money become the key factor of the Ukrainian politics, so that it could no longer buy deputies like cattle on a marketplace, so that no other politician would be eager to easily earn tens of millions,” Tymoshenko stated during her televised address to the nation.
In just several days Tymoshenko has managed to shake the Ministry of Finance and replace more than a half of ministerial deputies there.
Ukraine’s national oil and gas corporation – Naftogaz - will be the lady’s next goal. She has already specified her stance on the energy matter: there should be no mediators between Ukraine and Russia on the natural gas market.
“My position remains unchanged: there should be no mediators on the gas market. There is Nftogaz of Ukraine, which we will return to its normal financial state,” Tymoshenko said.
It is worthy of note that Ukraine’s Naftogaz is rumoured to be on the edge of bankruptcy.
Tymoshenko’s predecessor on the position of the Ukrainian prime minister, Viktor Yanukovich, who enjoys highest popularity ratings in the country, stated that his oppositio...

New prime minister for ukraine

New prime minister for ukraine
19/12/07
Published in The New York Times
By: C. J. Chivers
Yulia Tymoshenko, the former opposition politician who helped lead the peaceful street protests that overturned a rigged presidential election three years ago, was approved by Parliament as Ukraine’s new prime minister.
Ms. Tymoshenko, who held the same post in 2005 before a falling out with President Viktor Yushchenko, received the minimum 226 ballots in the 450-seat chamber in a vote that her opponents boycotted but Mr. Yushchenko, with whom she has reconciled, supported.
Her victory ended for the moment an impasse over forming a government that had persisted since elections in September. The narrow margin, however, suggested that she would face a strong opposition led by Viktor Yanukovich, the outgoing premier.

New Premiere-Ministr?

Ukrainian president sees no alternative to 'orange coalition'
29/10/07
Published in RFE/RL Newsline
By: AM
Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko said on October 28 in an interview with Inter television that he sees no alternative to the coalition of former Orange Revolution allies in the new parliament elected in the September 30 preterm polls. He admitted that the slim majority of three votes, which the Yuliya Tymoshenko Bloc (BYuT) and the Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense (NUNS) bloc enjoy in the new Verkhovna Rada, might be easily broken, but "I am sure that there is no alternative to this process" of formation of a BYuT-NUNS coalition. Yushchenko also said the coalition shouldn't be built on antagonism. "If someone thinks he might build the coalition on antagonism in the framework of two political forces, not sharing with others -- it's a mistake."
