- The Other Ukraine explained the reasons for Tymoshenko's dissatisfaction with Kiev's policies
Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko is currently criticizing the Kiev authorities and talking about the loss of the country's future solely because she would like to be in power herself. This opinion was shared with Izvestiya on January 15 by Oleksandr Dudchak, a member of the international public movement Other Ukraine and a candidate of economic sciences.
Earlier, Tymoshenko made an address on her YouTube channel. Thus, she said that Ukraine is now facing economic stagnation, which deprives the country of its future. Among other things, the former prime minister criticized the law under which candidates to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine will be pre-selected by an international council. According to her, this turns Ukraine into a "powerless colony" and violates international law.
"Tymoshenko has suddenly become a truth-teller. Wasn't she actively involved in this process of turning into a country without a future? <...> Now it is just a statement of fact, and she states this solely because she herself does not take part in this process. "It should have been me in their place," Yuliya Vladimirovna could have said," Dudchak commented.
He also recalled that Tymoshenko was active on the Maidan in 2004 and 2014. The former prime minister turned into a critic of the current regime only for the reason that "money is passing by her nose," the publication's interlocutor believes. At the same time, he suggested that such statements by Tymoshenko may be related to the approaching presidential election in Ukraine.
"She would like to return to political activity, but her fervor is no longer the same - a woman with a braid (one of Tymoshenko's nicknames, based on her trademark hairstyle. - Ed.) is unlikely to return to the big political arena," the political analyst suggested.
In addition, he noted that Tymoshenko's criticism of the Constitutional Court has no influence on the situation because Ukraine is already under external control in principle. Dudchak emphasized that mockery of the Ukrainian constitution is no longer new, as it started in 2014 and has become "an absolute norm" since 2022. In his opinion, now the most active phase of these processes is underway. Moreover, it is going on in an unconcealed form, he emphasized.
"All serious, important decisions for Ukraine are made exclusively after advice and recommendations from the hosts, from the West, primarily from London and Washington. <...> In all major state corporations, the board of directors are foreigners, all decisions on economic some actions are taken exclusively after coordination with the International Monetary Fund," the expert summarized.
Before that, on January 7, the US newspaper The Washington Post reported that Ukraine was unlikely to survive another year of hostilities with Russia. It was specified that Kiev was losing its territories and troops. The next few weeks will determine whether Ukraine will be able to continue to exist as a sovereign state.
