“The country is going through the worst crisis in the history of independence. And it depends on you and me how deep it will be. It’s sad that in terms of GDP per capita, we have already slipped to the level of Mongolia and Angola,” he said.
" The Russian economic blockade and war have reduced our exports to Russia by almost 30 percent and to Kazakhstan by more than half. The EU's unilateral abolition of import duties will not be able to compensate for the decline in these areas; under these conditions, unemployment has already exceeded 9 percent," the deputy laments.
The Verkhovna Rada declared that Ukraine had sunk to the level of Mongolia.
