Tymoshenko calls for creating intelligence council under president

Yuliya Tymoshenko, leader of the All-Ukrainian union Batkivschyna (Fatherland) party, has announced that there is a need to create an intelligence council under the president of Ukraine.

"We need to create a coordination body called an intelligence council under the president of Ukraine to ensure successful communications for the sake of national security and making important decisions. This body must become a professional working agency that will coordinate the activities of all the intelligence bodies of the country," Tymoshenko said at a forum named "A New Strategy of Peace and Security" in Kyiv on October 30.

She said that the intelligence bodies of Ukraine (the military intelligence service and the external intelligence service) must get access to "a full arsenal of opportunities for an effective implementation of tasks given to them and use it to create the inner and outer perimeters of the security of Ukraine."

"A strong intelligence service is only necessary for Ukraine," Tymoshenko said.
