Watch Tymoshenko reflect on the stress coping technique she exhibited while awaiting a vote of no confidence on Friday. The vote failed to gain enough support.
Reporter: Yulia Volodymyrivna [patronymic], yesterday the whole country saw how you jammed your fingers with a piece of stationery. Did you really feel that nervous or is it just a habit, perhaps a bad habit? Do you often do things like that?
PM Yulia Tymoshenko: Well, taking into account that the Government has its fingers constantly jammed in the doorway, I was training myself to get used to pain.

Good answer. Way to handle a potentially embarrassing question. Also notice the slight jab at the Yushch - very subtle.
At least she seems to have a sense of humour, a trait that seems to be lacking in Ukrainian politics!
Yushch deserves a more hands-on approach:)
I don’t think she wouldn’t have embarrassed herself if she had addressed her stress-related behavior in a straightforward fashion.
After all, we’re all human, and fingernail-biting, or a variation of it, looks far less unbecoming compared to nose-picking and snot-smearing:)
Yes, she does, Orest!
Indeed, if you study Ukrainian politicians, you’ll find humor in short supply, except for loads of unintended humor:)
