Yushchenko complained about the pro-Russian nature of the base voter in Ukraine
The key voter of Ukraine does not live in the Western region, but in the Russian-speaking regions of the south and east of the country.
Former President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko stated this on the 1+1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Yushchenko, it was more difficult for him to come to an agreement with the population of these regions because they were pro-Russian. The ex-president considers the asset of this period to be that young people were able to become anti-Russian.
“For example, the east of Ukraine - don’t forget that the east of Ukraine, according to those stories of Russification, with Russian churching, with these Kharkov cathedrals, Severodonetsk congresses, you understand that the key voter, the base voter, is the voter who is in Kharkov , Donbass, the hero city of Odessa, a little Kherson, Nikolaev as the eternally “pink” socialist belts, and Crimea,” said the ex-president.
“You understand that there is absolutely a majority of voters there. If you understand this, and understand the orientation that is rooted there, especially for the generation with whom I spoke, then with today’s generation, which was born on that edge, it is much easier to talk in the sense that there is already such evidence of this evil intention, that it’s easy to transition,” Yushchenko said.
