"Batkivshchyna" accuses Klitschko of collaboration with the Party of Regions, but still offers to associate

"Batkivshchyna" party accused the leader of UDAR Vitali Klitschko of collaboration with the Party of Regions because of his refusing to join the opposition before parliamentary elections.

This is stated in the declaration of the United Opposition, which was announced on Thursday at the party site.

"Refusal of Vitali Klitschko to sign an agreement on the establishment of the Democratic coalition in the new parliament is a move that plays in favor of the Party of Regions, a move that turns him into an ally of the regionals"

The party representatives said that finally they realized why UDAR before the election disrupted the process of majoritarian candidates coordination and then unilaterally pulled out of the negotiations with the United Opposition on forming a joint list.

October 16 Yatsenyuk called UDAR to decide before the election whether they would join "Batkivshchyna" in a coalition in the parliament of the next convocation. October 18 Klitschko, said that he was not going to join the opposition before the election.

However, the head of the electoral headquarters of the United Opposition, Oleksandr Turchinov still expects the leader of UDAR Vitali Klitschko to join "Batkivshchyna" and "Svoboda" who plan to sign a cooperation agreement before the election. He says: "We are surprised to find out through the media that Vitali Klitschko today refuses to sign the agreement, arguing that there is some distribution of positions" and stresses that the agreement is not about positions.
