“I didn’t even expect such changes in the state. We lived this year as if it were 10. I am glad that now I am returning to Ukraine as to Europe. We consciously made this breakthrough and now Ukraine is a European state,” Ruslana Lyzhychko stated today at a press conference in Lutsk.
“As No. 5 on the list for the Verkhovna Rada from the ‘Our Ukraine’ bloc, as a Ukrainian, I am ready to be where I was – together with Yushchenko. I am a tiny and young support, but every person must give at least a small part of themselves. I am with Yushchenko, therefore with ‘Our Ukraine’,” Ruslana commented on her presence in the Nashoukrainians team.
“It is not enough for me to deal only with music; I am an active person and I think that I will be able to help Ukraine.” Regarding the possibility of becoming the new minister of culture, Ruslana, ahead of the journalists, answered: “I am more impressed by work in the foreign policy committee, because after winning Eurovision I am perceived in the world as a diplomatic representative of Ukraine.” Ruslana noted that in parliament she is ready to defend intellectual property issues and plans to take a legislative approach to charity and patronage as well.
