Political analyst: Yulia Tymoshenko to conduct balanced policy with Europe and Russia

Political analyst Kost Bondarenko believes that Ukraine under a Yulia Tymoshenko presidency differs by having a balanced policy in relations with Europe and Russia.

"Yulia Tymoshenko is oriented toward adding Ukraine to the Paris-Berlin-Moscow triangle so that this three-sided structure is based on gas transportation priorities. Well, and of course, Ukraine has a huge role to play in this triangle. She has equal relations with European and Russian politics," said Kost Bоndarenko, responding to the question of what kind foreign policy course should Ukraine take and the domestic policy of Yulia Tymoshenko’s presidency.

The political observer emphasized that the current Prime Minister is received well in Europe and in Russia alike. "She obviously will accent the need to conduct a balanced policy with Europe and Russia. Moreover, she will initiate relations with Belarus on a regional level," he added.
