Premier Yulia Tymoshenko has stated that she has no intention to resign in the nearest future.

She said this live on Channel “Ukraina” on Thursday, commenting on the conflict between the government and the Presidential Secretariat.

“There are accusations going around that Tymoshenko is looking for the perfect moment to slam the door and leave and find an excuse…I would like to tell those people who are saying this and this is simply their wish,” said Yulia Tymoshenko.

“I will never allow myself to do this. We will continue to carry the responsibility that the government has,” she added.

She also added that her government’s work is being hampered “they’re trying to lower its effectiveness” and this, in her opinion, is being influenced by “competition over the next presidential elections.”

“I’m not thinking about future elections, because I’m thinking about how to fulfill my obligations,” said Tymoshenko.
