Yulia Tymoshenko has the best chance of resolving the political crisis
"Yulia Tymoshenko has a greater chance of resolving this issue. Then we can talk about the opportunity to fix socio-economic problems. The foreign policy aspect, once these problems are resolved, looks more attractive with Tymoshenko as president than Yanukovych," he said when asked what Ukraine will look like with Tymoshenko as president.
Meanwhile, political analyst Ihor Zhdanov added that with Tymoshenko as president, Ukraine will look to Europe. "Yulia Tymoshenko has repeatedly stated that her civilized choice is Europe. That is where she sees Ukraine’s main potential for development. The Batkivshchyna Party is an associate member of the European People’s Party and Tymoshenko has good relations with such European leaders as Sakozy, Merkel and others."
Zhdanov also believes that the main problem for Yulia Tymoshenko as president will be securing visa-free travel to the European Union. "To obtain Schengen visas, you have to sign dialogue and cooperation agreements. As for domestic policy, Tymoshenko has clearly stated her position. She is for Ukrainian being the only state language. She will also take a more pragmatic approach to relations between Ukraine and Russia."
