Batkivschyna Party leader Yulia Tymoshenko has proposed setting up a special commission to study global risks and nominates Batkivschyna deputy head Hryhoriy Nemyria for the post of its coordinator.

"I am now putting forward a new initiative to create a special commission to study global risks. I think that later this commission will be under the president of Ukraine. I suggest that Hryhoriy Nemyria become the coordinator of this commission," Tymoshenko said at the New Strategy for Peace and Security forum in Kyiv on Tuesday.

She expressed confidence that this commission would work in full force after the presidential election.

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