Yuliya Tymoshenko, leader of the All-Ukrainian union Batkivschyna (Fatherland) party, has announced that they have started the formation of a War Cabinet whose composition will be made public closer to the presidential elections.

"Our team has started creating real strategic documents and bills that will ensure their implementation in keeping with the planned schedule. To perform this job and develop a detailed strategy of peace, I herewith declare the start of the formation of a War Cabinet whose composition will be made public by the E-Day of the presidential elections," Tymoshenko said at a forum named "The New Course of Ukraine" in Kyiv on October 29.

She said that Andriy Senchenko, a member of Batkivschyna and a former MP, will coordinate the formation of that cabinet.

At the same time, Tymoshenko criticized the fact that the military doctrine of Ukraine was approved by the president of Ukraine only 18 months after the combat actions in Donbas started.

The next presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine are scheduled for 2019.
