Ukraine must stay on European path regardless of 2019 elections - Klitschko
“Ukraine needs to continue moving towards its European democratic future regardless of results of the elections due in 2019,” Kyiv mayor, Vitali Klitschko said at the opening of the 15th Yalta European Strategy (YES) Annual Meeting “The Next Generation of Everything”, organized by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation.
“A lot depends on the next year, on how we will deliver on Ukrainians’ huge expectations. After all, we want to see our country wealthy, to see new standards of living […] Next year we are also having the presidential and parliamentary elections. Regardless of their results, we hope our European course will remain unchanged,” he said.
According to Klitschko, there are forces looking to divert Ukraine from its European path and “reverse everything”. “We must deliver on public expectations to live in a modern and democratic country […] I said this many times and would like to repeat it again: our success, the success of Ukraine, is the best answer to our friends as well as enemies,” he concluded.
