Mykola Azarov considers that the crisis recovery of the Ukrainian economy is seriously challenged because of the tensions. He said this during a meeting with representatives of the European Parliament who represent the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats.

"Those who continue to escalate the conflict or play the fate of millions of people jeopardy welfare of Ukrainian families," Mykola Azarov said.
