“We need not only to return the occupied territories of the Crimea and Donbass, but also to attract Russia as an occupying state to justice, to compensate for the losses suffered by our country,” said Tymoshenko at a meeting with residents of the Lviv region.
Among other priorities as president, she noted the formation of a powerful army in accordance with NATO standards and the cessation of supplies by the Ukrainian army "of all that is unsuitable, at an exorbitant price, with kickbacks."
In addition, the leader of Batkivshchyna stressed the need to speed up the procedure for Ukraine’s entry into NATO.
Tymoshenko earlier opposed the initiative to give Donbas the status of an autonomous region.
Crimea became the Russian region after the referendum held there in March 2014, in which the majority of the inhabitants of the peninsula spoke in favor of reunification with Russia.
