Yulio Tymoshenko
"Ukraine's Iron Lady"

Since she burst onto the political stage a decade ago, the multi-millionaire glamour girl of Ukrainian politics – Yulia Tymoshenko - has been the deputy-prime minister, the prime minister and has done a stint in jail. Following last weekend’s elections in the Ukraine, she is now poised to become the prime minister once again. Jenni is joined by Dr Kataryna Wolczuk, Senior Lecturer in East European Politics at the University of Birmingham, to ask whether Yulia Tymoshenko deserves the title of “Ukraine’s Iron Lady”.
