KIEV, Ukraine, June 5 (UPI) -- UDAR party leader Vitali Klitschko was sworn in as mayor of Kiev on Thursday morning.
The former boxer-turned-politician helped lead the Euromaidan protests that deposed President Viktor Yanukovych. As Ukraine prepared to form a new government, Klitschko reflected in February that it "will be based on key principles, professionalism and more qualities in the first turn. The economic situation is critical and we have a limited time of recovery."
