Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk considers rumors
that he is Viktor Yushchenko’s successor to the post of the President of Ukraine
as nonsense. He stated in an interview with the newspaper “Ukraina Moloda” from
January 3.
“It is nonsense. All these talks about Yatsenyuk-“successor” are only discredits
on me,” the speaker said.
He notes
that these rumors are only one of the methods to create problems for him in
relations with different people. “I do not even consider these questions,” Yatsenyuk
said.
Answering
the question whether he agrees, if Yushchenko will ask him, Yatsenyuk has
answered: “Our President is young, with first term… Why should he ask me? The
Constitution foresees the possibility to be a candidate for Presidential post for
the second time.”
