Ukraine Lawmakers Approve Prime Minister

Ukraine parliament on Friday unanimously approved Yulia Tymoshenko as prime minister to lead Ukraine's new government.

This firm supporter of new Ukraine president Viktor Yushchenko was approved by a vote of 373-0, far above the 226 votes she needed.

 

"I trust her to organize the work of the government," Yushchenko told legislators before the vote, which had been delayed a day by political horse-trading over other top positions in the new government.

 

Yushchenko called Tymoshenko "my political partner, my political friend."

 

Before the vote on her nomination, Tymoshenko laid out the broad goals of her government's program. Emphasizing the importance of "justice" in every aspect of Ukrainian life, Tymoshenko called for raising living standards, fighting corruption and separating business from power.
