Address by Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk

Dear compatriots!

On October 26, we are to elect a new Parliament - the first after the Revolution of Dignity. The first one, which is obliged to guarantee Ukraine the invariability of our course into the United Europe, into the environment of human dignity and justice. The Parliament, which is to serve the people.

We shall elect the Parliament’s members who have to remember: if they don’t meet the concerns of those who elect them, if they just try to steal and lie, people will raze them the same way they did with the previous regime.

Since the prior parliamentary elections there have passed not just two years but an entire era. The Ukrainian people became different: much more mature, more organized and wise. They no longer believe the empty promises. They judge by actions.

We have to ensure and will get the expression of the will of people, of what they really desire: either a semi-colonial poverty or an independence of their country and its prosperity, either surrender to the empire or their own Ukrainian state.

The right to elect freely and consciously has been gained by us at the cost of immense sacrifice. Therefore, even when Ukraine is suffering from military aggression, when enormous human and financial resources have been thrown targeting to destabilize the country, we will carry fair elections, like we held the presidential ones. The Government has done and is still doing everything necessary to ensure that every citizen who came to the polling station could feel safe. We will ensure the free will of Ukrainians. The penalty for fraud and vote buying is inevitable and strict. The same is for those who sells their votes.

Time for Ukraine is as precious as gold. We should not spare a day after the elections to form a new Government. The Government has to prolong the battle for the country and its future. It is crucial to adopt the Law on the State Budget, to pass through the winter, to provide with heating and light, to ensure life and development of the country.

Dear compatriots! The voice of each one of you is too significant. You have to come to the polls. The price of this election is too high to stay at home. Come and vote for your country, for own our country.

Glory to Ukraine!
