Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman has said that the government of Ukraine will be forced to raise tariffs.
"I have no choice," Groysman said on "Left Bank with Sonia Koshkina" TV program aired on Channel 24.
According to him, low and "economically ungrounded tariffs spawn rampant corruption. People who now claim they don't have a kopek actually earned tens and hundreds of billions (of hryvnia) on this. Actually, they do have money." Groysman said.
On the subject of land plot sales, the PM confirmed he is in favor of extending the moratorium on land sales. "I don't want the land market to become another episode of deception for the people. That's why it's important not to rush with this," he said.
Groysman said each local community should decide what to do with land plots at their disposal.
