Yulia Tymoshenko is convinced that Oleksandr Moroz will participate in the elections in the first round under any conditions. She stated this on Saturday in Lutsk during a press conference for local media. According to her, she held several meetings with Oleksandr Moroz regarding the possibility of withdrawing his candidacy before the first round of elections and uniting his efforts with the "Power of the People" coalition. "I had the authority to offer Oleksandr Oleksandrovych effectively a blank sheet so that he could set out all his conditions, all his plans. We were a priori ready to accept these conditions. Unfortunately, he said that there are no such conditions that could lead to the withdrawal of his candidacy in the first round before voting day," stated Yulia Tymoshenko. "In my view, this is absolutely illogical. I cannot explain such a decision by Oleksandr Moroz by any serious political circumstances. I am convinced that he has no chance of making it to the second round and winning the election campaign. Therefore, this is some kind of political combination that is incomprehensible to me," Tymoshenko said. She also stated that today the "mini-team 'Kuchma+Medvedchuk' cannot find its place in Ukraine either under President Yushchenko or under Yanukovych. Therefore, according to Tymoshenko, they plan to declare the elections invalid at any cost, for which several plans are being developed. The first plan, according to Tymoshenko, is to introduce amendments to the Law "On Elections of the President of Ukraine" according to which a provision is introduced that in the second round only the candidate who gains 50 percent plus 1 vote of the total number of people entitled to vote wins. A provision is also introduced according to which those candidates who in the second round did not overcome this requirement no longer have the right to run if the elections are announced again. According to another plan, in Tymoshenko's opinion, it is planned to artificially create a state of emergency in Ukraine either with the help of the army or with the help of artificially created events by the "ordered opposition." Another option is to initiate falsification at 2/3 of the polling stations, record it with protocols, so that the head of the Central Election Commission Kivalov, who "is in certain relations with Kuchma and Medvedchuk," simply declares the elections invalid and a new round of elections begins. Tymoshenko also states that the "mini-team 'Kuchma+Medvedchuk' may order government representatives on precinct commissions not to appear at polling stations and not to participate in meetings of precinct commissions; likewise not to ensure a quorum for the work of these commissions and to recognize the impossibility of holding elections. According to Yulia Tymoshenko, "there are even more exotic plans." "The question is whether they have enough political courage to apply such scenarios, whether they will not be frightened by Yanukovych's team, which already senses the false smell of his victory. On the other hand, can they go against the world by practically applying such dirty technologies. And thirdly, they are afraid of their own people," stated Tymoshenko. "They will plan everything, but they will not succeed in accomplishing anything. The elections will take place legitimately and within the appointed timeframe," stated Yulia Tymoshenko.
