Without Russia we are dead - Baloga
Ukraine cannot cope without relations with the Russian Federation - the “free markets of Europe” turned out to be a bluff and no one is waiting for a Ukrainian manufacturer there.
Transcarpathian oligarch and Verkhovna Rada deputy Viktor Baloha stated this on the NewsOne television channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The relations that we have with Russia - in fact, we are in a state of undeclared war, we understand that the relationship is complex. But at the same time, we are not welcome in Europe with open arms and bread and salt. There is an agreement, but there are quotas, which we have too few for us to rise up in terms of GDP. That’s why we can’t do without Russia,” the politician said.
“Yes, I’m probably saying things that many people don’t like, they’re unpopular,” added Baloga. – But I’m talking about those real things that will make it possible not to collapse the country. The statements that the prime minister makes - he is actually doing everything to destroy the state. We don’t need Putin to come here with his troops, we will destroy it ourselves. Because the economy will stop because the prime minister says this.”
