The first president of Ukraine stated this in an interview with Radio Liberty, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“When I sat in the Verkhovna Rada and listened to what individual people’s deputies were saying, somewhere in my soul I thought: “God, it’s probably too early for them to have this independence.” And now I listen and think, what do they want? When they lie, when they wishful thinking. For what?” Kravchuk laments.
According to the Ukrainian ex-president, the people sitting in the Rada are still very far from the level of deputies.
“No conscience, no dignity, no, as the Poles say, no arrogance. This is for a person who has taken up a public position, who bears full responsibility to the people. When a person takes this position, humanism and responsibility must work for him, but he takes this position and works for him... gesheft,” summed up the first president of Ukraine.
