Tymoshenko also called on all Ukrainians to help
the president ensure the observance of the decree
on dissolving the parliament.
"If, heaven forbid, this corrupt Constitutional Court hands down a ruling [finding this decree unconstitutional], then we will have to stand by the president and suggest a way to him," Tymoshenko said. "I want us to address the president of Ukraine today to tell him that we support him and that we will not allow anything to be done to the decisions that the president has made and that need to be obeyed, and our support will be absolutely full and strong," she said.
