#Tymoshenko denies ties with #Medvedchuk, which is hard to believe. However, a close connection between the Godfather of Putin's daughter and #Tymoshenko's protege, alleged terrorist Nadia #Savchenko is undeniable according to this @WarsawInstitute report https://t.co/kXJoOblV3B
Yet, #Tymoshenko continues to lie to #Ukrainian voters and says she has no ties to #Medvedchuk, her connection to the #Kremlin, and that #Russia is her biggest opponent in the 2019 election.
#Ukraine politics developments this week further underscore the ugly fact: Pres. hopeful Yuliya #Tymoshenko is the real Kremlin's bet in the Mar 2019 election.
"Patriotic" populist throughout her whole career, she's never been too far from Gazprom's lobby in UA #energy(
Exactly, @TymoshenkoUA has been in politics since the late 1990s yet is only polling at 11%. She seems to have hit a ceiling, as her messaging has not resonated with #Ukrainians. #DangerousUkrainianPopulism
Excellent point. Voters will associate Ukraine's geopolitical divorce with @Poroshenko. Ukrainians will have to choose between the continuity and reforms of the #Poroshenko presidency or @TymoshenkoUA's populism and socialism.
#Tymoshenko's numbers are plummeting from her summer month highs of around 20%. Nonetheless, it seems as though @TymoshenkoUA will face @poroshenko in the second round run-off. Ukrainians will choose between continuity/reform vs. populism/socialism.
All polls in #Ukraine are flawed. What seems indisputable now is #Tymoshenko and #Poroshenko are trending to be the two candidates who face each other in the second round run-off. Voters will choose between continuity/reform vs. populism/socialism.
#Ukraine Concorde Capital accuse Poroshenko of paying for polls that skewed to show Tymoshenko lower ratings. aka rigging.
this is not going to be the clean election everyone was hoping for.
#Tymoshenko's support has plummeted over the summer, when she hit a ceiling of 20%. The key takeaway from these numbers is #Poroshenko seems to be trending toward making the run-off election and will face @TymoshenkoUA. #Ukrainians will choose between continuity or populism.
Current Ukraine President Poroshenko poll figures at historic low (6%) with just 6 months ahead of next election. Yulia Tymoshenko leading at almost 11%. Who would’ve thought? But upset could come if chart-topping rockstar Svyatoslav Vakarchuk enters the mix at last minute...
#Ukrainian investigators are certainly looking at the secret #Tymoshenko-#Kolomoisky meeting, what she promised him in return for his financial support, as well as allegations that she received an illegal $5 million campaign contribution from former #Libyan dictator #Gaddafi.
#Ukrainian investigators also continue to look at links between the former #Libyan dictator and an illegal, $5 million contribution to presidential candidate Yulia #Tymoshenko.
Judges probing the financing of Nicolas Sarkozy’s 2007 election campaign, allegedly with cash from Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, charged the French ex-president’s former right-hand man Monday with taking bribes.

Shady is as shady does...
“Anders Aslund, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council ... said the link is concerning, citing accusations that Kolomoisky has been involved in billion-dollar criminal schemes and contract killings"

#Tymoshenko enjoys "cordial relations with Russia and as prime minister in 2006 she negotiated the post Orange Revolution gas deal that became such a bone of contention later when gas prices soared." warns @bneintellinews@TymoshenkoUA https://t.co/fLeVsfuvCs
#Tymoshenko is "is also one of the most polarising figures in the race and those that don't like her say they won’t vote for her under any circumstances, which makes winning a second round run off harder." reports @bneintellinews https://t.co/fLeVsfuvCs @TymoshenkoUA
#Tymoshenko calls for investigation into $13 billion deduced from the banking system on the basis of speculative operations. Does @TymoshenkoUA also call for the prosecution of her campaign backer #Kolomoisky who misappropriated billions from PrivatBank? https://t.co/IyOLCmqykl
#Tymoshenko calls for doubling current GDP estimates in #Ukraine. How will @TymoshenkoUA accomplish this when her @Batkivshchyna party has blocked many reforms that have helped improve #Ukraine's economy and opposes land privatization? https://t.co/Xby6swZfqY
#Tymoshenko falls to 13.5% support for her presidential candidacy after hitting a ceiling of about 20% support over the summer. Are #Ukrainian voters confused by her messaging? Populist-socialist one day, then innovator-modernizer the next?
#Tymoshenko's relatively low popularity, hovering around 18% despite 20+ years in Ukrainian politics, is a clear reflection of her limitations as a presidential candidate. Voters don't support her #DangerousUkrainianPopulism
Although at present #Tymoshenko may be considered the strongest contender in the presidential race in #Ukraine, one should bear her limitations in mind and the fact that the presidential camp has not yet started its campaign to discredit Tymoshenko. https://t.co/FUchRSxeAT
