Leader of the Batkivschyna party Yulia Tymoshenko has said that she will not pull out of the presidential race, and that her main objective is to put an end to injustice and lawlessness.
She announced this at a rally in the town of Khmelnyk, Vinnytsia region, on Thursday commenting on a suggestion by presidential candidate Petro Poroshenko's team that she should pull out of the elections for the sake of the unity in Ukraine, Batkivscnhyna's press service reported.
Tymoshenko said she believes that the public should draw conclusions from the mistakes of the Orange Revolution, and that she has no right to fail to fulfill the demands of the Euromaidan, and therefore is obliged to prevent oligarchic clans from getting into power.
According to her, oligarchs are currently "trying to take control of all financial flows, of all the key monopolies, get all the principal posts into their possession." Tymoshenko stressed that they placed their bets on the presidential elections and may take revenge on the participants and achievements of the revolution.
