Leader of the UDAR Party Vitali Klitschko has congratulated Ukrainians on Christmas and New Year.

He noted that 2014 should become a pivotal year when Ukrainians will replace this government, which does not allow the country to develop, when Ukrainians will embody their plans of the transformations in the state, when Ukraine will finally become a modern and European state. “We have proved that we can do it!” the UDAR leader said.

Klitschko wished Ukrainians wisdom, endurance, peace and victory, warmth and prosperity.
