Yushchenko’s wife to go into politics and may head Our Ukraine

“Sources in Kyiv and Washington agree that by participating in debates on the World News, BBC, Kateryna Chumachenko (her maiden name) has started her own political career,” Pikhovshek writes.

Ex-First Lady’s ambitions, however, do not sit well with those of the ex-head of the SBU, Valentyn Nalyvajchenko, who announced the beginning of his political career by launching the Renovated Country NGO. The rumor is thick in the Ukraine media that Nalyvajchenko also has an eye on Our Ukraine when Viktor Yushchenko quits big politics.

Nalyvajchenko’s plans can be disrupted by 2 OU heavyweights, Ivan Vasiunyk and Yury Yakhanurov, the expert says.
