 | | Shortly before Viktor Yushchenko announced that Yuliya Tymoshenko was his choice for Prime Minister, Ukraine's President met with his controversial political ally and gave her a simple message. |
 | | Tymoshenko would have to work hard to overcome the dislike and mistrust many Ukrainians, especially in the Russian-speaking east, feel for her; she'd have to win over opposing factions in parliament; and she'd have to do it on her own. |
 | | Roman Bezsmertny, another M.P. for Our Ukraine, which is allied with Tymoshenko's party, called on fellow deputies to vote against her because he believes she'll foster disunity — despite the fact that it was her forceful rhetoric that helped keep demonstrators' spirits high during the street protests that brought Yushchenko to power. |
