“We confirm our commitment to the principles of the Revolution of Dignity and undertake to observe them in everyday political activities. For the sake of preserving the statehood of Ukraine, we are ready to unite around common values and put aside petty political contradictions,” says the declaration of the national round table “Unity for Victory.”
The document notes that the political fragmentation of the Ukrainian elites in the past led to the loss of statehood and the establishment of harsh authoritarian and totalitarian regimes on the territory of Ukraine; the regimes imposed by Russia brought the greatest disaster.
“Today Russia is once again seeking to subjugate Ukraine and to do this it is resorting not only to direct military intervention, but also to attempts to split Ukraine from within, to destabilize its political system, and to quarrel among the Ukrainian elite,” the declaration says.
The document was signed by the leaders of the “NF” faction Maxim Burbak, the leader of the RP Oleg Lyashko, the presidential representative in the Verkhovna Rada Artur Gerasimov (the “BPP” faction), as well as the ex-Minister of Education and Science Sergei Kvit, a figure in the Ukrainian Jewish movement, a member of the supervisory board of the Ukrainian Helsinki Union for Human Rights Joseph Zissels, as well as the deputy head of the wire of the public organization “Free People” Sergei Kuzan.
Representatives of the Batkivshchyna and Samopomich factions, who did not participate in the round table, will be asked to sign the same declaration.
