“We expect that new tariffs will come into force very soon, and with the beginning of the cold season, every citizen of Ukraine will feel this. We expect non-payments to rise sharply. In general, this will lead to an increase in non-payments to the budget as utility tariffs rise. This will lead to another collapse of the tariff and budget system,” he said at a press conference in Kyiv.

“There will be total impoverishment of the Ukrainian population. Already, almost 70% of the population receives subsidies, which means that 70% of the population is insolvent. Raising tariffs will lead to an even greater increase in their number,” added the former head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
