Tymoshenko: 'I'll be next Ukraine PM'

Ukraine’s fiery opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has said she expects nothing less than to be the country’s next prime minister, given her stalwart support for Viktor Yushchenko, whose presidency is increasingly likely.

Tymoshenko has said that a written agreement she and Yushchenko signed when she joined his coalition leaves no alternative than for her to head a new government once Yushchenko is inaugurated.
