Kiev:
Ukraine's opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko said Sunday that she would not seek the post of prime minister in a new coalition government formed following the ouster of president Viktor Yanukovych.
"Information that I was being considered for the post of prime minister of Ukraine came as a surprise," the former premier said in a statement released by her Batkivshchyna (Fatherland) party.
"This issue was not agreed or discussed with me. Thank you for your respect, but I ask you not to consider my candidacy for the post of the head of the government."
