“It will not be easy to get back the Crimean peninsula. I am from eastern Ukraine. People in this part of Ukraine are happy to unite with Russia. That’s why our next president should unite our nation primarily, otherwise Russia will continue its invasion.”

“The only way is to create proper economic circumstances to make Ukraine happier than Crimea. This will convince them to come back. I mean we need to create a ‘mini-Europe’ here, because the well-being of a nation guarantees a unified nation. I see our plants don’t work and I see no production in Ukraine.”

“We strongly need to get back Crimea. It is too late to use military for this purpose, only diplomatic methods will give a positive result. Our future president should persuade Crimeans to go against Vladimir Putin. And the Tatars should also rise against his regime. But Crimea will be back only when Putin stops being president.”

“To begin with, he should unite our nation, because only this will make our country strong. The only way to this goal is to listen to what people say. It may well be true. Viktor Yanukovych said this, but he did nothing to listen to what the country says.”
Svetlana Chubu

“I am sure that this challenge for our next president is unfeasible. But for the next few years, the president should initiate reforms and different social programs. People in Ukraine are proud of their country, but they strongly need to restore an order and peace. Enmity between people is unacceptable.”
