In a speech at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, while thousands of people protest in Kyiv against plans to conclude an agreement, Azarov urged the EU to understand the situation of the country's industry. According to him, the 28-stage should join the block on mutually beneficial projects, since Ukraine since Soviet times is strongly dependent on the production of steel and chemical products.
Instead of signing agreements with the EU last month, Ukraine decided to restore economic ties with Russia, which caused protests by the demonstrators. The political crisis aggravated the financial difficulties of the country, which was already on the verge of bankruptcy.
according to Azarov, 20 billion euros will help the Ukrainian economy will adapt to closer integration with the European Union and will compensate for the potential loss of the Russian market. The EU allocated 610 million euros that she calls macro financial assistance for Ukraine, and Yanukovych called this amount "humiliating.""We do not expect and do not ask gifts, we want the European Union to give us the necessary technical support to bring our industry in line with European standards," he said. We are talking about participating in large mutually beneficial projects that would create new jobs at our enterprises. ”
