Ex-head of Viktor Yanucovich presidential administration, founder of the New Ukraine Foundation Serhiy Lyovochkin has said he has decided to run for MP so as to promote the achievements of the foundation at the legislative level.
"Ukraine is now in a difficult economic situation. There is a war now going on in our state. I believe that even amid the conflict in the east, amid the annexation of Crimea, Ukraine has a chance to conduct a deep modernization of the country. I'm going to parliament to make sure Ukraine does not lose this chance of development," Lyovochkin said in a statement obtained by Interfax-Ukraine.
Lyovochkin noted that in parliament he intends to engage in the promotion of all reforms and achievements of the New Ukraine Foundation.
He said that he was running for MP from the Opposition Bloc.
Interfax-Ukraine learned that Lyovochkin was 12th on the election list of the Opposition Bloc.
