Ukraine Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko held her first cabinet meeting on Wednesday, promising to put the country back in order.
Tymoshenko is vowing to clean up the country's finances and hold talks with Russia on natural gas supplies.
Among her priorities is cleaning up corruption, which remains rampant in the country 16 years after its independence.
She also wants to proceed with vital economic, judicial and political reforms. Tymoshenko will continue to move Ukraine closer to the West and eventually seek membership in the EU and NATO.
