Quotes

  • Ukraine is facing a serious threat of isolation as some local political forces want to put an end to democracy and democratic reforms in the country
  • I am convinced that we will cope with this Moscow disaster. I think that now we have a unique chance if we open an internal dialogue! Ukrainian victory begins with you. But for this we need to go a long way of national unity. This is what I focus on the most. April 03, 2021

Article

Viktor Andriiovych Yushchenko (Ukrainian: Віктор Андрійович Ющенко, IPA: [ˈwiktor ɐnˈd⁽ʲ⁾r⁽ʲ⁾ijowɪtʃ ˈjuʃtʃenko] ; born 23 February 1954) is a Ukrainian politician who was the third president of Ukraine from 23 January 2005 to 25 February 2010. He aimed to orient Ukraine towards the West, European Union, the G7 (then G8), and NATO.

Yushchenko's first career was in the banking industry. In 1993, he became governor of the National Bank of Ukraine, presiding over their response to hyperinflation and the introduction of a national currency. From 1999 to 2001 he was prime minister under President Leonid Kuchma. After his dismissal as prime minister, Yushchenko went into opposition to President Kuchma and founded Our Ukraine Bloc, which at the 2002 parliamentary election became Ukraine's most popular political force.
