Kremlin announces deterioration of economic situation in Ukraine

The socio-economic situation in Ukraine is rapidly deteriorating against the backdrop of reactionary and repressive tendencies, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov told the reporters.

Previously, Peskov noted that a reactionary trend, repressive actions against the media and leading politicians, is gaining strength in Ukraine.

“Of course, we regret that against the background of these reactionary and repressive actions, the economic situation is rapidly deteriorating in Ukraine. The indicators leave much to be desired, the population has many problems with the rise in prices for housing and communal services, with a sharp avalanche-like growth. And, of course, since we are talking about our neighbor, about a neighboring country for us, this economic situation  coupled with the manifestation of internal reaction, is, of course, a matter of serious concern”, – Peskov said.
