The damage was huge, … especially the damage to people’s souls–the people who stood on Independence Square for the sake of the revolution. . . . This is a big tragedy.

Today, we are two different teams. I think these two teams will go their own way.

Then the president left, practically breaking down our unity, our perspective, the future of the country,

I asked him to choose between his entourage, which was accusedof corruption, and me in favor of the government, in favor of an honest country, but the president made a choice in favor of his...

I think I will become prime minister.

Corruption is in the air. This is the air we had to breathe.

We said repeatedly that this election was about choosing the prime minister and now the people have spoken.

With this visit, I wanted to show that sometimes politicians have no fear when they are sure in their actions, … I initiated this trip not only to show that there is no problem, that...

I am ready to sit down with him (Yushchenko) today … and suggest we unite forces and create a new government,

I haven’t been doing business for years, and all of Ukraine knows this, … The campaign against me is based on the notion that 10 years ago I was very powerful. In a span of...

Honestly speaking, I have no doubts that we wi ll win the parliamentary election. And definitely I will then head the government.

They think they can destroy my authority and credibility with the people, their trust in me,

I am sure that all complaints regarding me were initiated from Ukraine,

There was a separate government established by Poroshenko, … The two governments could not exist together.

Of course, I will fight for the post of prime minister in the parliamentary elections,

I believe God sometimes gives chances to some people. And I believe God gave me the chance to explain to people what is important and I am trying to use this.

I’m not going to hide myself away – I’m not going anywhere.

We are nearly that team that can deeply reform the country, rid it of clans and oligarchs and begin democratic reforms.

Our team will fight for the possibility to form the government. We perceive these positions not as a goal, but as an instrument to realize the ideals of the Orange Revolution, … I don’t want...

There is not merely a chance, but a full certainty that we will win the parliamentary elections.

We don’t have another path. It’s our only option.

picking up Kuchma’s baton and wanting to get rid of me in the same way.

We view the Party of Regions as an opposition party.

I think that people who are capable of such things can only fantasize about sex and in real life are not capable of anything, … So these people should be forgiven.

It is absolutely important to create a coalition urgently.

I am sure it is not the president, it is his team,

I have not seen the president for a long time, and we have a lot to discuss.

When the new president pulled out these allegations, the whole country simply laughed, because even under the Kuchma regime, these charges were cleared, … This case has already been thrown out by the courts.

Today, much more than yesterday, there is a threat of a coalition between Our Ukraine and the Regions Party.

He practically ruined our unity, our future, the future of the country. I think this step is absolutely illogical.

failed to find understanding with Yushchenko’s environment, with his team.

I ask the president: Has he any intention of forming a coalition with the Regions Party? I consider the absence of a reply silent endorsement of this union.

No mixture of political blood is possible.

We shall run independently … We shall run as an independent and self-supporting force.

the president stood up, turned his back and said, ‘The conversation is over.’

The revolution is not yet finished. We must keep fighting to secure power!

Without Tymoshenko’s support, clearly, Yushchenko never would have become president,

We are not causing the delay. We are 100 percent ready. I think there is some confusion in Our Ukraine. They did not expect such results.

I think these two teams will go their own way. … Viktor Yushchenko and I will go to the elections on parallel paths,

The air we are breathing is corrupt. It’s not the end of the Orange Revolution; it’s the direct action of the Orange Revolution. A public cleansing of society is underway.

Of course we will take part in the presidential elections — there is no doubt about this now. But I did not make this choice, Viktor Andreyevich Yushchenko did under full pressure from his entourage,
