Viktor Yushchenko; Scarred by the Revolution.(Interview)
Byline: Rod Nordland
With new elections only four months away, Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko's political problems are beginning to mount. The Ukrainian economy is tanking, the Orange coalition has fallen apart and a bitter dispute with Russia over natural-gas supplies has Europe worried. While touring a Ukrainian armored tank brigade's base in Bila Tserkva last week, just before a visit from U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Yushchenko spoke with NEWSWEEK's Rod Nordland. Excerpts:
NORDLAND: Will Iraq and the allegations of secret U.S. prisons in Europe be topics in your talks with Condi Rice?
YUSHCHENKO: Our agenda is mainly economic. Iraq is a zone of Ukrainian interest, and the presence of the Ukrainian peacekeeping contingent the last year signified our adherence to our commitments. We're now removing our contingent, and we are offering a... second phase of our cooperation, gendarmes, specialist military training, security training... And we are ready to participate in our reconstruction projects in solidarity with business interests from other countries.
Is there any possibility you'd agree to keep troops beyond the Dec. 31 date for their final withdrawal?
No, we're not going to keep them longer.
The Russians are fearful of Ukraine's drive to join the accession process to the European Union and NATO. What do you say to them about this?
