Terrorists, acting on the instructions of the Kremlin, are deliberately destroying the infrastructure of Donbas “to strangle” Ukraine economically.
Prime Minister of Ukraine Yatseniuk said, opening the government meeting on Wednesday, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“It is extremely difficult to have the working economy and a healthy financial sector in the current conditions, when there is the war in the country that is supported by terrorists from the Russian Federation. Every day we lose our economic potential,” the head of government said. According to him, terrorists, whose fire is adjusted by Russia, make surgical strikes at the critical infrastructure: the mines, power plants, electrical grids, railways, bridges and communications. Every minute, millions of intentional damages are inflicted to Ukraine.
“It is clear that this is a planned action to strangle us economically. Russia realizes that for the recovery of Donbas not billions of hryvnias will be needed, but billions of dollars that should be taken somewhere,” the Prime Minister stressed.
