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 At the toughest times I recalled how the children and the elderly looked at me with trustful eyes. Your faith has given me strength. Huge sums of money, administrative manipulation, have all been mustered to prevent the people from expressing their voice. My heart, as all of yours, breaks when it sees how the government is robbing the country of its riches, how they sell out our national interests. Our mothers and fathers want change. They worked all of their lives, but today live in destitution. The conviction of our Ukrainian nation is embedded in the pages of its history. The government is sowing the seeds of division in society. Those in power want us to struggle with one another, but not against them. The regime is afraid of the people because it knows that free and fair elections will bring about its end. There is only one conflict in Ukraine today and it is between the regime and the people. Ukraine must once again be revered and respected by its citizens as well as the East and the West. We can and must turn this page if we are friends and are prepared to look one another in the eye. We cannot be divided either by the languages we speak, by the faiths we profess or by the political views we choose. We want work and we want honest jobs. Our minds and our hands will be our keep!viktor yushchenko
