Klitschko in talks with other mayors to create political party

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has confirmed that he is negotiating with mayors of other cities on the creation of a common political party.

Klitschko said this live on the ICTV channel, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"Yes, we do communicate with the mayors of other cities, realizing that today local authorities must protect themselves and the interests of their communities. We are considering different options for representing this political force," he said.

Earlier, Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov spoke about such consultations. Filatov noted that he and Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy believe that it is necessary to unite on ideological grounds rather than professional ones.
