"Because according to the official data of the customs service of Ukraine for the period January-July 2015 the Ukrainian Export items fell by 35%, or eleven, seven billion. A lot? Very Much!", he stresses.

The economist stressed that the Russian Federation remains as long as the main financial partner of Ukraine among all other countries in the world, despite the fact that trade between 2 countries fell almost 60%.

"earlier Ukraine was more tied to Russia for export and import, now this link is broken. But from this gap, most importantly, lose Ukraine ", - said Okhrimenko.

"after 7 months of 2015, Ukraine's Exports to EU countries fell by 34%. Why? It is very simple. Ukraine simply have nothing to sell to the EU, and the EU is not very hurry to purchase goods in Ukraine, if you can buy them in Russia ", - noted Oleksandr Okhrimenko.
