Daniel Russell, deputy assistant secretary of state for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova said that the United States were pleased to see that the party of regents itself took the initiative to ask the constitutional court to review the law and pledge to abide by its decision.

Russell also said that Yulia "Tymoshenko is obviously going to be one of the leaders in the opposition in parliament and we are going to continue our longstanding relationship with her."

"At the same time, we also plan to work closely with emerging leaders like Deputy Prime Minister Tigipko and Member of Parliament Arseniy Yatseniuk. The development of new democratic leaders is important for all parties in Ukraine," Russell said.
