Volodymyr Groysman: the Government focuses on the fact to compensate for the economic decline,caused by the irresponsible actions of the initiators of the blockade
Irresponsible actions of some deputies that initiated the energy and the economic blockade, increased dependence of Ukraine from the aggressor despite economic and energy interests of Ukraine. This was stated by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman during the "hour of questions to the Government" in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Friday. "You said about Ukraine's dependence on the occupier. I'm not going to say that we have unprecedented challenges to our independence. But the fact that your actions personally increased this dependence, a definite fact. What you personally did for blockade of Ukraine - is contrary to the interests of Ukraine and the economic and energy", - said the Prime Minister, addressing the people's Deputy Yegor Sobolev. "We expected that the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation in the Donbass will lead to a complete blockade and lack of access of Ukraine to its territory. In the end, they did it, but it's your hands," - said the Head of Government. Volodymyr Groysman stressed that the Government is taking steps to achieve energy independence of Ukraine. Yes, the Government makes the complete replacement of anthracite coal annually and reduces dependence on him. The modernization of the Ukrainian thermal energy and transfers it to the coals grade "d". Steps are also being taken to increase the capacity and production of electricity from nuclear energy. The government is creating mechanisms that reduce the consumption of energy in the country. For more than 500 days Ukraine does not consume "a drop of Russian gas". Moreover, measures were taken to increase production of Ukrainian gas. This year we will produce more than 500 million cubic meters of gas, which is unprecedented. — "We do all the work. I'd love to do faster. Possible when there is economic growth. Most possible to do when this economy produces revenues so we could pay higher salaries to raise pensions. But when your actions to force the country to abandon the 1% of GDP, this means that hundreds of billions will come into the economy of our country, from the hundreds of billions is not paid a dime in taxes. I believe that your actions were irresponsible. Unfortunately, they hit the pain point of your economy," - said the Head of Government.
