Businessman Dmytro Firtash says he supports  the idea of nominating a single candidate for President from the democratic political forces, says the statement published on his website on March 31.

Vitaly Klitschko’s decision to support Petr Poroshenko on the presidential elections could be an example for other politicians. In the current realities it is important to quickly stabilize the economic and social situation in the country”, Firtash’s press service quoted him.

The businessman encourages politicians who will take part in the presidential elections “to make a choice between personal ambitions and need to stabilize the situation in Ukraine.”

“The economic and social development of the state will be possible only under such conditions”, says Firtash.
