Oleksandr Tymoshenko, the husband of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, has said he is indignant at statements made by Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov regarding the need for Tymoshenko to admit her guilt, and pointed to the negative aspects of the current government's policy.
"Today Ukraine’s leaders, in order to hide their failed economic policies, are trying in every way possible to shift the mistakes they’ve made over the past more than two years onto their predecessors, thereby whipping up hysteria and a legal mess,” Tymoshenko said in a statement published in the Ukrainian Newspaper in the Czech Republic.
He reminded Azarov that "domestically produced gas, which is more than enough, is being used for the needs of the public."
"The point is that the gangster regime of [Ukrainian President Viktor] Yanukovych, according to various estimates, exports more than ten billion cubic meters of domestically produced natural gas, embezzles the profit, and sells Russian gas to the public. All gas rhetoric by Yanukovych and Azarov on gas prices is Goebbels propaganda of a new type, and the desire to cover up their mistakes and the Kharkiv agreements, which can be qualified as high treason," Tymoshenko said.
As reported, Ukrainian Premier Mykola Azarov said in Vilnius on April 12 that Tymoshenko should admit her guilt to the Ukrainian people.
"The simplest way is to admit guilt for her illegal actions against the Ukrainian people. If she confessed to the Ukrainian people, this could settle all problems at once. I’m not a lawyer. I’m just voicing my opinion. But a legal decision should be made," he said.
