Kolomoiskyi offered Radical Partly leader Liashko to create coalition with Tymoshenko

In spring 2017, oligarch Ihor Kolomoiskyi urged leader of Radical Party Oleh Liashko to create a coalition together with Yuliia Tymoshenko, leader of Batkivshchyna.

Liashko told reporters on the sidelines of the Verkhovna Rada, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrainska Pravda.

He said that Kolomoiskyi called him every other day and persuaded to join a coalition with Tymoshenko against President Petro Poroshenko. The politician said his answer was "if you want to finish Petro, wait for 2019, he will not make it to the second round [of presidential election - ed.]. If you want early election now, he will win," Liashko said.

The leader of the Radical Party said he didn't agree for Kolomoiskyi's proposal.
