Regions Party leader and Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has said that UDAR Party leader Vitali Klitschko, before going into politics, could try his hand at the local level.

"Klitschko is a very talented athlete. I have a proposal for him as an athlete. What kind of statesman is he? He should try his hand at simpler things. Someone always claims to be the mayor of Kyiv. But why Kyiv? There's such a town as Boyarka. Let's try to allow him to lead this town," he said in an interview with Mykolaiv Regional Television and Radio Company in Mykolaiv on Friday.

The prime minister also said he doubts that people who gathered around Klitschko could conduct useful activities for the country in public posts.
