There is no political elite in Ukraine, former president says
Ukraine’s first president Leonid Kravchuk believes Ukraine is significantly lagging behind Russia in terms of development.“Russia is taking the lead on Ukraine. It reaches its strategic goals while we are only feigning that we do the same,” Kravchuk said, speaking on the ICTV channel on Sunday night.
Kravchuk said there is no political elite in Ukraine. Instead, there are only powerful political clans. That is why in the East Ukrainians are close to Russia and in the West are close to Europe.
Politicians must stop using people as fodder and stop using the country’s independence and Ukraine in their games, the ex-president stressed.
