Viktor Yanukovych Quotations

For me, there are no my people and strangers, no bad people and good people. All people are equal for me.

I don't need power at the cost of spilled blood.

We must improve our lives and we will do it together - all of our citizens and myself as president of Ukraine.

I have never allowed anti-Russian rhetoric in Ukrainian policy toward such a strategic partner like Russia. This is the first point. I never went against the interests of the Ukrainian state and the Ukrainian people.

I am sure that the Ukrainian nation deserves a better life. That is why I have voted for good changes and for stability.

I came from a very poor family and my main dream in life was to break out of this poverty.

I think that Yulia Tymoshenko should prepare to resign. She understands that well.

I remain committed to a balanced policy, which will protect our national interests both on our eastern border - I mean with Russia - and of course with the European Union.

The Party of the Regions has won a convincing victory. We are ready to undertake responsibility for forming the Cabinet and we are calling on everyone to join us.

Ukraine will undergo a catastrophe if its political elite does not put the country's interests above career ambitions and narrow prejudices.

We won't allow our elderly to be demeaned. We won't allow anyone else to build our future for our own children. Together, we will win!

We must improve our lives and we will do it together -- all of our citizens and myself as president of Ukraine...,

Our victory will open a new page in the history of Ukraine. We are ready to work together with any political party.

That decision which the president took was very correct.

That was a fraud intended to seize power, and look what they did with it. They kept creating crises which Ukrainian people struggled to overcome.

I would like to warn the authorities on behalf of millions of people who backed the Party of Regions during the elections that the revival of the 'orange' team is a repeat of the mistakes of 2005 in the worst possible way.

Europe will support Ukraine, and Ukraine will build mutually beneficial relations with all nations, including the European Union.

The country has seen your real face. You have opened it,

Worrisome. It's romanticism, and it's dangerous to have children and students on the street.

God has left me alive, so it looks like I'm needed for something ... As soon as there is a possibility for me to return, I will return and will do everything I can to make life better in Ukraine. And today, the main task is to stop the war.
