Ex-PM Tymoshenko launches bid for Ukraine presidency

https://news.yahoo.com/ex-pm-tymoshenko-launches-bid-ukraine-presidency-115722151.html

Kiev (AFP) - Former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko on Tuesday officially launched her bid for the country's presidency, with polls showing her as the frontrunner.

"I'm running for the presidency," she told a session of her nationalist Batkivshchyna (Fatherland) party to cheers from the crowd.

"I've made mistakes," said Tymoshenko, who is a highly divisive figure in Ukrainian politics.

"Maybe sometimes I'm wrong, but I'm wrong sincerely," she said.
