Yatseniuk urges parliament to adopt package of necessary economic laws
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has called on the Verkhovna Rada to adopt a package of laws that are necessary for the country in 2015.
"I am asking members of the new parliament to adopt a package of economic laws that will enable us to survive in 2015," he told journalists in Kyiv on Monday.
He said that the issue concerned, on the one hand, the simplification of the taxation sphere and, on the other hand, a reduction of state budget expenditures and the revision of a number of social programs.
According to Yatseniuk, the situation in Ukraine's economic sector is "very difficult" and revenues may drop every month.
"We cannot physically deliver pensions and salaries to the east, because bandits rob cash-in-transit vans and take away money [from people]," he said.
