Presidential candidate of Ukraine Anatoliy Kinakh does not intend to withdraw his candidacy from the elections. He stated this on October 27 in Lutsk at a press conference for local media. "I will not withdraw my candidacy. As for pooling efforts, at all stages we are ready to pool efforts with those who wage an honest struggle, who in this struggle does not demean the authority and honor of the state, with all who together with us want to build such a state and such a government that works in the interests of the people," stated Anatoliy Kinakh. When asked who specifically among the candidates meets these criteria, Anatoliy Kyrylovych avoided a direct answer, saying: "more to come…" "I have never made and will never make decisions under pressure. I have never made and will never make decisions as a result of primitive trading, contrary to the interests of the people and the state. I never trade and will never trade the trust of the people. Therefore we are fighting seriously and working for the maximum possible result," stated Anatoliy Kinakh in response to a question about whether he had been offered to withdraw his candidacy. He also stated that he is "very concerned about the dirty events that took place on October 23 in the premises of the Central Election Commission." In his opinion, the demand for honest elections is not a problem of an individual candidate. Honest elections are the main factor of society's trust in the government, the authority and honor of the state, and trust in Ukraine on the part of the world community. "Therefore I will firmly counteract both attempts at falsification and attempts to introduce society and the state into one or another state of emergency. This absolutely contradicts the fundamental interests of society, this absolutely contradicts the right of people to free expression of will. I will do everything so that the law has its say regarding the events of October 23, and everyone, regardless of surname and position, receives their due in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine," stated Kinakh. He also noted that he considers it positive that the Central Election Commission did not approve the list of polling stations outside Ukraine (an additional 420 stations in the Russian Federation). In his opinion, "this was the path to mass falsification."
