Ukraine remains without crops and food - Tymoshenko
Ukraine faces drought and crop failure, while at the same time the country may lose the remnants of its agricultural sector if the land market is opened.
Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko announced this on air on TV channel 112, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the politician, the current government is leaving future generations without land, crops and food supplies.
“Even the remnants of our food security will be eliminated if the land is sold. You and I, then, as a people, will not have environmentally friendly products that even these few farmers produce today; we will absolutely not have the profit from the land that the land brings today, crops, and so on, because international corporations will have taxes and profits leave in their countries.
We will not have anything guaranteed at all, we will not have millions of jobs in the agricultural sector based on the development of farming. We are depriving ourselves of the future. But most importantly, we will leave ourselves, our children and grandchildren without food.
And what you just said are the first challenges of this threat. I’ll tell you more: today, unfortunately, the state reserve does not function correctly. Today, the president of the country and the government must see that the country has very dangerous weather conditions for farming - we are on the verge of drought, we may not have the harvest we are counting on,” Tymoshenko said.
Moreover, as PolitNavigator reported, Tymoshenko's former faction ally declared that the EU is milking Ukraine , condemning it to starvation.
