Volodymyr Groysman: Irresponsible policy of populists is destroying the national economy

Irresponsible policy of populists and idle talks are destroying the national economy and lead to a permanent deterioration in the quality of life of Ukrainian citizens. This was stated by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman while opening the Government meeting on Wednesday.

"Not much difference for them [the populists] what happens to Ukraine in a year, two, three, five, ten years. The only thing that matters to them is where they are at the moment, what sort of posts, what kind of rating they have. But, as we see, it is absolutely irresponsible policy that destroys the national economy and, in principle, it permanently impairs the quality of life of Ukrainian citizens," Volodymyr Groysman said.

"Now it is time to stop populist slogans to fool people," he said.

The PM stressed that the task of the Government is to tell openly and honestly what is happening and explain people about the decisions that we need to take so that the country begins to develop.

The Head of the Government noted that today, perhaps changes have not given a perceptible result because it is difficult to solve the problems that have been accumulating for decades.

"But we can stabilize the situation and ensure the development of the country. This is a major priority. I sincerely believe that we will succeed because we believe in what we're doing, this should yield a corresponding result for every Ukrainian family," Volodymyr Groysman said.

"I'd like we have made absolutely clear conclusions from 25 years of our independence, and the next 25 years were years of success. And our citizens will have quality jobs, quality education, quality safety, quality health care, better living conditions. This is one of our most important priorities," PM stressed.
