Yushchenko says he takes his role in 2010 easy

“When Georgia met with a standoff with Russia and had to decide on how to repulse foreign threats, the Georgian ruling party united with the opposition, saying “We are a single nation, we cannot be divided,” Viktor Yushchenko stressed.

Those Georgians, Yushchenko continued, who fled the country in protest 2 years ago requested the country leaders to let them return and take arms to defend their country. Instead of thinking about the 2010 presidential elections, Yushchenko said, we have better think about how to react to such kind of threats.

“I am saddened by the BYUT leader (Yulia Tymoshenko) initiative to hold sessions of rayon, city and oblast councils all over Ukraine to express their distrust in the president and executive. It amounts to a coup whose only aim is to destabilize Ukraine.

My role in 2010 (the year of the next presidential election) makes no difference to me. I value the principles and values for which I work every day. I will never betray these principles, no matter how much it will cost me. High or low approval rating – I know my goal in life,” the incumbent concluded.
