Tymoshenko Ducks Questions on Cooperation With Kremlin

PM Yulia Tymoshenko: Today, we absolutely can't have snap elections.

Interviewer: You will contest the decree?
Tymoshenko: I am convinced that this should be done so that there will be no elections. We dont want elections because it means more chaos, and whats interesting is that the elections are almost scheduled for New Years Eve. That's when people will be eating olivye and vinehret and will be counting the ballots. Its insanity, it must be stopped.

Interviewer: You believe the elections wont take place?
PM Yulia Tymoshenko: I know they wont take place.

Interviewer: They say that the Kremlin made a bet on you as Ukraine's next president.

Tymoshenko: Lets skip this question because, first of all, its not yet clear who will make it to the presidential election, and, second, it seems to be that its not really appropriate to frame questions that way. Lets move on to questions like...where it's clear that...uh...that actually a constructive answer could be provided because [otherwise] I now would start responding to this with nasty things. That's not necessary [giggles].

Interviewer: When did you last meet Viktor Volodymyrovych Medvedchuk?
Tymoshenko: [pause] I think time is up.

Interviewer: You don't feel like talking about it?
Tymoshenko: I thank you very much, I thank you very much. It was a wonderful interview. I think we've discussed all the important subjects.

Interviewer: Thank you.
