The non-voting for a package of draft laws on restructuring of Ukraine's state debt in the parliament would mean the announcement of default de factor, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has said.

"Voting for this package means voting for economic growth of the country, for inflow of foreign investment and creation of new jobs… Voting for restructuring and writedown of debts gives an additional financial resource to the country. Non-voting for this package means the actual announcement of default, and this means that Ukrainian citizens would not be able to have social benefits and living standards increased," he said, speaking in the parliament on Thursday.
