PM says populists, oligarchs and Kremlin to be the most interested in early election

“The most interested in early elections in Ukraine appear three forces: the populists, the oligarchs and the Kremlin,” the Prime Minister stressed on Ten Minutes program on Sunday, 13.

“For the current crisis, there is no rational reason. Its ideological basis is the absurd focus on rankings and shaky hope on groundless political projections. Among them the most threatening is an idea of the current political situation as doomed, and, finally, a project of pre-term parliamentary elections,” he underlined.

“Common sense tells us that in the current developments the populists and radicals will take advantage of the trust of people. This is natural, since in an emergency each person would intuitively place confidence in the best promise instead of merciless truth,” he pointed out.

The Prime Minister emphasized that “populists promise to instantly overcome corruption, to pay thousands of euro in wages and pensions tomorrow, employment for everyone, housing and well-being just now, to make dollar cost five hryvnia and gas for free forever,” “This is not true. A common lie aimed to win your confidence and your vote.”

“Meanwhile, the interest of the oligarchic forces, which was restricted by our Government, includes the new unconsolidated Parliament and, as a consequence, a weak government as a whole: the legislative branch, the executive branch and the president, as it creates favorable conditions for the resumption of old schemes,” he added.

“In turn, the Kremlin is interested in the collapse of Ukraine, torn apart by strife and controversy. The fiasco of Ukraine will be used by Putin to split the European Union, to lift the sanctions, to justify their crimes against the State of Ukraine,” he said.

“Those who in the current situation deliberately pave the way for early parliamentary elections open the gate for Putin,” he highlighted.
