“Then there were times when many Ukrainians joined the idea of ​​reform. Many people who were successful in other countries received a good education, who have already spearheaded something, returned to Ukraine and had to realize its potential somewhere. Then a progressive team was created, which was part of the Poroshenko team. They thought that something could be done through this body, ”said the president of the Executive Committee of the reforms.
