Klitschko says he does not need cover

"I don't need a 'roof,' but we need partners. Ukraine would not exist today without the support of our partners, those countries that see Ukraine as democratic. We would be part of the great Russian Empire. This is no secret either. I am grateful to Europeans and Americans who, at that difficult time, supported us financially and helped us implement reforms. I am firmly convinced that we must go the same way walked by the Eastern European countries," Klitschko said in an interview with the RBC-Ukraine news agency.

While commenting on his relations with Giuliani, he said: "I have known Giuliani for about 15 years. He is one of the most successful mayors in the history of New York City, a big metropolis. In fact, he has repeatedly advised me on what areas to develop in the city, how best to do it. We have a very good relationship with him. Giuliani is a great friend of Ukraine, it's also no secret. I talked to him by phone. He invited me to fly [to New York] and meet."
