Quotes

  • But if we had such a Putin, I would vote for him. He is doing well for Russia. He is acting in the interests of his country... That every president should defend his country in this way. That's natural!
  • Bandera became a hero for most of society, an image of nationalism. Politicians- manipulators who pull on embroidered shirts- proudly shout out his name, but it should be understood that this historical figure will never find a place in the Ukrainian pantheon of heroes.
  • Vitali Klitschko is a good mayor. I will never criticize any mayor because I was in their skin and I know how difficult it is today in local self-government to make and impress, so to speak, voters.
  • Why can't Klitschko see the condition of the sidewalks and do nothing about it? Maybe he doesn't walk those sidewalks. If he had ever seen a mother with a wheelchair with a small child to walk on a broken sidewalk through the pits, then perhaps he would have understood both people and their troubles better.
  • During the primaries, everyone liked my half-joke about 'investment nanny'. Both the president and the prime minister and the speaker have heard this. I said that for investors, I would not only be an "investment nanny", but an "investment" and "investment teacher". I will love them like a mother and control them like a mother-in-law. So, everything will be fine.
