Former Deputy Prime Minister Mykola Tomenko accused former First Assistant to the President Oleksandr Tretyakov and former NSDC Secretary Petro Poroshenko of involvement in the gasoline and sugar crises. He stated this in an interview with the newspaper "Delo," which will be published on Wednesday, according to "Ukrainska Pravda." \n \n"The gasoline crisis 'named after Tretyakov.' This crisis is on his conscience," he said. According to him, when Tymoshenko's government gathered Russian oil traders, "they said there were some problems, but they were ready to live under Ukrainian laws." \n \n"When prices returned to their previous positions, they went to Tretyakov, and he convinced the president that they needed to be dealt with differently. I don't know how differently – maybe the prosecutor will say – but, in the end, a working group was created headed by Tretyakov, which set gasoline prices and effectively subordinated the government to itself," said Tomenko. \n \n"Next – the sugar crisis 'named after the Poroshenko family and the sugar business,' the meat crisis – 'named after Ukrainian landowners who work in the meat market,'" noted the former deputy prime minister. \n \nTomenko also said that in his position he was supposed to coordinate the activities of the media space. According to him, they were "completely squeezed out of this sphere." \n \n"They said the president's team would handle this. I can reveal a secret to you... all government proposals for the composition of the National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting, signed by the prime minister and deputy prime minister, were not coordinated with him at all," Tomenko said. \n \n"That is, the National Council included friends of Tretyakov, Poroshenko, or their 'protégés.' I proposed people to the Council who had gone through discussion on 'Telecritika,' at media forums. These were Taras Shevchenko, Oleksandr Chekmyshev, and other fairly neutral political figures and well-known persons in the media environment," he said. \n \nTomenko also believes that judging "by many decisions that the president makes today," "whoever ran through his office first, whoever brought him documents first, that's whose decision gets signed." \n \n"For example, the story with the appointment of the prosecutor general. It seems as if someone came and said that the best candidate was Vasyl Prysiazhniuk. And then someone else appeared who managed to convince the president to choose Oleksandr Medvedko," Tomenko explained.
