Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc (BYuT) member Valeriy Pysarenko calls an action of Our Ukraine‐People’s Self‐Defense Bloc (Our Ukraine‐Narodna Samooborona, NUNS) on termination of unlimited parliamentary immunity ‘a survey’ and would like the bloc to join BYuT’s initiative on holding a nationwide referendum on September 30.
Mr. Pysarenko says that BYuT’s political allies “have chosen somewhat dubious way by announcing collection of people’s signatures without any legal consequences”. “NUNS is going to conduct a nationwide survey.”

Ukraine has a stake in the G8 talks
06 July 2007
Published in Le Monde
By: Yulia Tymoshenko
During the past two months, as Ukraine’s political crisis has deepened, I have heard from the West: “once again, the young Ukrainian democracy is teetering.“ The European Union has looked at us as if Ukraine were a troubled and immature child. But Ukrainians have shown the world that they can control their destiny. A political compromise was found, setting the date for new parliamentary elections on September 30th. This agreement is a victory of national interest over personal and clan rivalries.
Since this event, something new has interfered with European countries’ attention towards Ukraine: Russia has threatened to find new targets in Europe if the United States finally decides to set up missile defense sites in Poland and the Czech Republic. Most Western diplomatic services are severely troubled by these threats, and rightly so. Countless times, I have attempted to focus the attention of European leaders on the concern of a self-confident and increasingly aggressive Russia controlling the strategic assets of oil and gas.
