The economic problems of Ukraine, the war in Donetsk and Luhansk, the fight against corruption, negotiations with the IMF - all these issues require wise decisions, and Yuliia Tymoshenko is just such a smart and experienced politician, she has a political instinct to overcome numerous problems of the country together with President Zelensky.
This was written by former Congressman, Executive Director of the Center for National Policy Bob McEwen for Westernjournal.
"Now in Ukraine there is not a single person who could compete with Yulia Tymoshenko both in experience and in international relations. After years of unjust imprisonment, she knows what her compatriots think about corruption and incompetence, which so often embody the actions of the Ukrainian state. She has an instinctive sense of the needs of Ukrainians. And this is exactly what the country needs from the Prime Minister," he said.
According to the author, the real question is whether the next Prime Minister will be a person who not only already has experience in solving the problems of Ukraine, but also is a familiar face and voice for world leaders with whom Ukraine needs to deal in order to maintain its own security and achieve prosperity of the economy.
"Indeed, an extremely important quality that Tymoshenko could bring back to the post of Prime Minister, if Verkhovna Rada chooses her after the elections, will be her rare ability to recognize the right economic, political and strategic arguments in the midst of the crisis. Tymoshenko was indeed a shrewd judge of technical advice that she got. She understands that if technical solutions do not receive public support, they are doomed to failure," Bob McEwen said.
The recent presidential elections have clearly demonstrated that the Ukrainian people are not ready to have a government that imposes a solution to their problems: "Everyone needs not technocratic, but wise political solutions. They can be solved only with the consent of Ukrainians, and it can be obtained only through the efforts of a reasonable and experienced politician. Yulia Tymoshenko is really such a politician."
