for reviews of Mercuria, attempts Yatsenyuk to enlist the support of the Germans failed.
" This incident will not cause the approval of the German society. Most in Germany already know about it, they've seen the performance of the Ukrainian Prime Minister. I suspect that Yatsenyuk tries to enlist the location of the Germans, but if it is really So, I can say that he does not know Germany, " drew the attention of Mercurys.
