Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said in a television program on
Wednesday that it would "make no sense" to call a meeting of Ukraine's
National Security and Defense Council to debate recent
Ukrainian-Russian gas agreements and that there was no chance of the
Council revising them.
"The Council of National Security and
Defense should have met when the crisis was still in place. It would be
the best idea not to create any new crisis by holding a meeting of the
[Council]. Now that the crisis is over, and today the prime ministers
of all key European countries have thanked the Ukrainian government for
successful ending of all those problems and successful signing of the
agreements, it would make no sense to call a meeting of the [Council],"
Tymoshenko told one of the central Ukrainian television channels.
In resposne to the question whether the Council might revise the Moscow deals, she said: "Categorically not," Interfax-Ukraine reported.
