KIEV, July 6.. Several thousand people took to the streets in Kiev on Wednesday on the initiative of Ukraine’s largest trade unions to join a protest march against a sharp rise in gas prices and utility rates that have nearly doubled as of July 1.
"We have to give the entire salary to pay for public utilities," the participants in the rally said. "If the government is talking about European prices, then we should be paid European wages."
Radical Party leader Oleg Lyashko accused the country’s leadership of deliberately annihilating the people, adding that "Poroshenko and Groysman will go down in the country’s modern history as the authors of the tariff genocide."
Thousands join protests in Kiev against rising gas prices, utility rates
Another protest march took place in Odessa. Utilities costs in Ukraine are equal to retirement payments, in a lot of cases they are even even higher than retirement payments. Nonsense...
Well, thanks a lot, our "Western friends", for bringing such an incredible mess to our country! Wherever Washington comes, it only brings chaos, misery and deaths. Ukraine has not been an exception...
