Volyn Regional State Administration, member of the NSNS (People's Union "Our Ukraine") Volodymyr Bondar regarding his refusal to run for parliament and his candidacy for the regional council, in particular stated: "I think that I will go to the regional council if my fellow party members express their trust in me. And as for the assessment of my activity by the people, I think they will give such an assessment, in particular at the elections, as well as an assessment of the political structure that I represent."
Regarding the refusal of a passing seat to parliament on the NSNS list, Volodymyr Bondar said: "Yes, I refused the list to the Verkhovna Rada. And as for the logic of making this decision, it was simple and I spoke about it. Firstly, I came here because the President of Ukraine expressed such a vision and his word was important to me in this situation. He expressed a wish that I continue to work in this position. I will continue to work that way.
It is pleasant for me today to work with Yuriy Yekhanurov in the same team. The excessive nervousness in work and haste in decision-making have disappeared. Both in the center and in the regions, serious and thorough work is being carried out. We spoke about this situation with Yuriy Ivanovych and found understanding regarding my future fate and my remaining in this position.
If there is the trust of such high-ranking persons, then I will continue to work and perform these functions."
