Ukraine’s opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko said on February 23 that she would not seek the post of prime minister in a new coalition government formed following the ouster of president Viktor Yanukovych. “Information that I was being considered for the post of prime minister of Ukraine came as a surprise,” the former premier said in a statement released by her Batkivshchyna (Fatherland) party.
