“Groups of specialists are already working. The first problem is the budgetary sphere. We do it. People are starting to receive salaries in rubles. The entire market is switching to rubles. For some period, the hryvnia still works, for those who have savings. We provide the opportunity to change money, all this will be organized,” he said.
According to Konstantinov, the process of annexing Crimea to Russia for ordinary residents will take place “with minimal losses.”
“We are joining a highly developed, highly organized country. This is not the collapse of the USSR, when Ukraine began to take us away,” the speaker said.
