Yulia Tymoshenko answers her critics....Below is part of Yulia Tymoshenko's comments about the recent changes in the Ukrainian governemnt:
"As to whether I will go into opposition, I would like to say that unlike many other politicians who have changed after the revolution, I have not changed my policies, my views, my morals. I have not changed my attitude to Ukraine. So if someone has changed, they should go into opposition, not me. I am on the right and clear path. I can firmly say that Viktor Yushchenko and I will go to the election by parallel paths. It does not mean we are at war. But we have two different teams, two very different sets of people. Our teams are different, and I will not go to the elections together with the people who have so discredited Ukraine. I do not mean the president, I mean his entourage." "Dear friends, this is yet another test. I am very surprised that this pack of men have for many years, for eight or nine years, are dreaming about ripping me apart and getting rid of me somehow. I want to say to you, dear men, you will not get rid of me. It is not you who are protecting me. Three things are protecting me, and I want you to know it. You have no control over these three things, no matter how arrogant your comments are. The first thing is the true goal I have - it is a good goal, and the Lord protects me. The second thing, I know that day after day people will believe me more and support me more, because my every deed is transparent and understandable. You cannot do anything about it. No matter how much dirt your pour on me, people are much wiser than you think. And the third thing that protects me is my faith that the era of Ukraine's cleansing has already begun, and what is happening now is evidence to that. It is not like it was under [former president] Kuchma - under Kuchma everyone kept silent. Now we can clean up, and step after step my faith will become true, and Ukraine will change, it will become strong and beautiful."
