“Corruption must be eradicated. It is necessary to reform the electoral system before the next national elections in 2019, starting with the appointment of the new composition of the CEC, to strengthen the rules and uzhestochat punishment for abuses during the elections. Those who had benefited from the old system, will fight with hands and feet, protecting their privileges, but in Ukraine there are a number of outstanding leaders in government, Parliament and the public, and they strongly develop strong Ukraine.
