[-said]: For $7 billion we could have been able to build two LNG [liquefied natural gas] terminals. For that money over two years we could in every region have reconstructed residential and communal business. Over that time and with that money we could have launched a major program for modernizing thermal power stations and get away from the excessive use of gas. And lastly, with that money we could have modernized Ukraine's gas-transport system, replace gas re-pumping stations and change them over to electricity, r

[-said]: Before the presidential elections [in Russia], I don't see the possibility of a positive finale to the gas negotiations. Moreover, this is not gas negotiation, this is pure Russian blackmail,

[ said]: Any attempts of the Party of Regions and its satellites to change the election law mean only one thing: the Party of Regions admits losing the elections and tries to forge them through introducing amendments to the law in order to steal votes,

ukranews 21-JAN-12

[-noted]: All the opposition parties proved the need to unite their efforts because the political elite had acknowledged that Ukraine's future would depend on them. This is a great responsibility and expectations of the Ukrainian people for changes which they, in the first place, associate with the opposition,

ukranews 20-JAN-12

[ says]: Today, the Party of Regions are having second thoughts. They realize that they will lose the vote based on this election law. Now, PR are preparing changes, allegedly, on the ground that some of the law provisions are unconstitutional. If they are unconstitutional, how come Pres Yanukovych had signed the bill into law?

[-said]: We are holding difficult political consultations. Each party wants to get more seats. But the main thing is to get them. The opposition now has two approaches. One is to work in all 225 constituencies, and another is to focus on 150 constituencies. We decided that it would be expedient for us to actively work in 175 constituencies, including in the eastern regions,

kyivpost 04-JAN-12

[-said]: Perhaps, 227 to 223. In fact, a two-party system exists in our country. The post-Soviet [party] opposes the pro-European [party], and the past [opposes] the future,

[ said]: If we obtain majority in the parliament, President Viktor Yanukovych will lose for ever an opportunity to appoint his prime minister and his members of the cabinet,

ukranews 29-DEC-11

[-said]: Paul Manafort [a US lobbyist working for Yanukovych] advised him to extend the current parliament's term because of this. Ukraine's parliament actually extended its term by one year so that he can get a boost from Euro 2012,

[-also said that]: The new law is aimed only at obtaining a 300-vote majority in the next parliament by unconstitutional means. They want to do this by passing a law that would permit the falsification of the next parliamentary elections - in the same way as they falsified the local elections.

Politics is a competitive area of activity and it is natural that fair competition should exist. But I have never indulged in fighting with democratic parties. I may have suffered from such fighting in the past [on the part of Yulia Tymoshenko – Ed.],

[-said]: Important, they [Regions] should be left alone. [On their way to power] they had no time for squabbling. Now, they control the feeding grounds. Regions are not busy with discussions or ideals, they are busy with dividing the feeding grounds. Some grabbed the customs, VAT rebates, state monopolies, others have the budget and posts. Regions are losing popularity sooner than their predecessors. They are faced with serious problems,
