Tymoshenko Says She Will Run for President of Ukraine -- New York Times

KIEV, Ukraine — Yulia V. Tymoshenko, the former prime minister of Ukraine, said on Thursday that she would run for president in elections to be held in May, making it clear that after two and a half years in prison she intends to play an active role as her country struggles with political and financial upheaval as well as the Russian annexation of Crimea.

Ms. Tymoshenko, a charismatic but also potentially polarizing figure, ran unsuccessfully for president in 2010 against her archrival, Viktor F. Yanukovych.

Klitschko, a former champion boxer who is a leader in Parliament.
