Ms Tymoshenko said that she had so far been awarded only the Order of St. Great Martyr Barbara by the Orthodox Church.

The Ukrainian Premier has no state awards unlike other government officials. "This is because I have always been in opposition even when I was in power," Yuliya Tymoshenko noted. She has recently been ranked 17th in the ratings of the world's most powerful women according to the American Forbes magazine.
