The first Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk in the TV channel ZIK said, Ukrainians disillusioned with that in the past 27 years and called them slaves and lackeys.
As Kravchuk said, after Ukraine gained independence, he assumed, that the citizens of a new country “highly educated” and having freedom of choice, will start to create “new political life”, but nothing happened, since the majority of Ukrainians turned out to be “slaves and lackeys”. The hope for a new life did not justify, he added.
Politicians in power “fulfilled orders” and “served as a lie” to their patrons, convinced Kravchuk, and the highly educated political elite throughout the existence of independent Ukraine, never formed. current “rulers”, sitting in Kyiv, cynically and frankly deceive ordinary Ukrainians, their words never match their deeds.
Earlier, Kravchuk said, what if I could go back in time, it would change a lot in relations with Russia, starting with friendship treaties and ending with the payment of debts of the USSR. In his opinion, Ukraine also had to participate in the payment of the Soviet debt.
Leonid Kravchuk became the first president of Ukraine after the declaration of its independence and has held this post since December 1991 to July 1994 of the year. Participated in the signing of the Belovezhskaya Accords, according to which the Soviet Union ceased to exist and the CIS was created.
