Early Life and Education[edit | edit source]
Yulia Tymoshenko was born in Dnipro, then part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, in the Soviet Union. She graduated from the Dnipropetrovsk State University with a degree in economics.
Political Career[edit | edit source]
Tymoshenko began her political career in the 1990s, initially as a member of the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament. She rose to prominence during the Orange Revolution in 2004, a series of protests and political events that took place in Ukraine following a disputed presidential election.
Prime Minister of Ukraine[edit | edit source]
