raiting (0/0) Ukraine’s parliament voted on Tuesday for the appointment of Yulia Timoshenko as Prime Minister. Timoshenko won with 226 out of 450 votes. The ex-head of the Ukrainian Security Council and deputy from the Our Ukraine-People’s Self-Defence bloc, Ivan Plyushch, abstained from voting. Deputy Ivan Spodarenko was absent. Ex-premier of Ukraine, Yuri Yekhanurov, who is deputy of the Our Ukraine-People’s Self-Defence (OU-PSD) bloc, voted in favour of Timoshenko. Prior to the voting, Yekhanurov said he would not vote for Timoshenko until all candidacies for ministerial posts were coordinated. In that connection OU-PSD deputy Taras Stetskin accused him of blackmail. He also expressed opinion that it was not Yekhanurov’s own position. However, parliamentary sources say that prior to the voting President Viktor Yushchenko called him. Television footage also showed him speaking with Timoshenko in the parliament hall.
