KYIV - Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko's unpaid economic advisor Boris Nemtsov told Radio Svoboda that Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's political course is leading Ukraine into an economic crisis.

"The country is entering a crisis zone," Nemtsov said. "This crisis is caused by the policy conducted by Miss Tymoshenko. And by the way, she is not listening to the president, who was elected by the people of Ukraine. I will not support a mindless policy that is pushing the country into a crisis," he said.

Tymoshenko's political course has already led to "a halt in economic growth. The prices for vital products, including gasoline, sugar and meat, are growing very quickly," Nemtsov said.

The Ukrainian government needs to consolidate, Nemtsov said. Lack of consolidation creates "muddy waters" in the economy and allows multiple centers of authority to exist, which makes it harder to accomplish necessary tasks, he added.
