my only ques. is why her supporters - don't register that she let them down - instead signal that Pres. Yushchenko - let her and them down?
She had it made - position, money, opportunity to do good, etc. and she blew it for what - to support her cronies? - and she comes through this with clean hands?

"No minister in Ukraine's previous ten governments had such extensive powers as Yulia Tymoshenko," Yushchenko said."

"Yushchenko strongly criticized former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's government for its handling last month of the re-nationalization of Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant.
"High officials started directing events in favour of corporate interests; then crises appeared," Yushchenko said Sunday. "It was the last straw. I decided firmly that the decision most of all should be the following: Everybody should get lost."

"The situation around Nikopol, one of Europe's largest ferroalloy plants, came to a head at the beginning of September after Ukraine's Economic Appeals Court ordered the factory's shares returned to the state. Tymoshenko's government endorsed a speedy shareholders meeting in which one group of minority shareholders, Privat Bank, was given key management posts. Privat Bank's leaders are reportedly big supporters of Tymoshenko."
