At a briefing at the airport, she said that the proposed ex-head of the National Bank Sergei Tigipko Prime Minister of Ukraine in case of its victory in the elections and expects a response to the second round. She noted that the program for Ukraine"s reform and economic development, the proposed Tigipko largely coincides with its program. Sergei Tigipko was third after the first round, thus Tymoshenko is trying to attract voters to vote.

Meanwhile, yesterday in Kiev there was a scandal over attempts to capture the power of printing plant "Ukraine", which printed ballots. In the Party of Regions believe that the plant is trying to change the management team of Yulia Tymoshenko, to print extra ballots and falsify the election results. Head of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, in turn, blamed the incident around the plant to "regionals". By decision of the Council of National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, the plant will protect the internal troops.
