Ukraine's Central Elections Commission unveiled four presidential candidates on Friday. The country's general elections will be held on the 17th of January.

Election campaigning kicked off in the Ukraine earlier this week. Former parliament speaker Arseniy Yatsenyuk has pledged to turn the country into a united, prosperous European nation. The Public Party's presidential candidate, Vladimir Litvin, appeared to shed a tear as he called on voters to choose him.
