Tymoshenko: Putin has declared war on Ukraine

By declaring war on Ukraine Putin will be declaring war on the USA and UK, says Yulia Tymoshenko in her March 3 address to Ukrainians.

"Vladimir Putin knows only too well that by going to war with Ukraine he will be going to war with the US and UK, the guarantors of our safety. It's my firm conviction that Russia won't cross the line. If it does, it will certainly lose," she said.

Tymoshenko called on Ukrainian to stay calm.

"It is clear today that had Ukraine joined the NATO before such aggression would have been out of the question," she said.

"Today, it is not the war of weapons but of nerves and intellect," she said.
