Ukraine risks losing its space and aeronautical industry, breaking ties with Russia, said the former Acting Prime Minister Serhiy Arbuzov.

How Arbuzov said in the interview Last news , the majority of Ukrainian enterprises are closely linked with Russia." As a rule, are the remnants of high-tech sectors of Soviet industry, which managed to survive in the 90 years it is because of cooperation with Russian partners. Currently everything goes to the fact that they will cease to exist ", - said the head of the Department.

"Ukraine will lose the rocket and space, aviation industry, heavy engineering. That is, those industries that are leaders in every developed economy due to the creation of products with high added value", he said.

According to Arbuzov, " the problem is that there is no alternative "." After the departure of the Russian partners in our enterprise will come not the Germans or the Americans, and working with grinders to cut them up for scrap. For this reason, the government should call a spade a spade. This is not a refusal to cooperate with Russia. This refusal of specific factories and entire industries, " - said Arbuzov.
