Yatseniuk: the conflict in the Donbas prevents investment in Ukraine
Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk believes that to attract investment to Ukraine without de-escalate the conflict in the Donbas is unrealistic.
"Most importantly for us is the de-escalation of the military conflict in Eastern Ukraine, freeing Ukraine from the Russian military presence. We must frankly say to attract private investors to a country that has a war with a nuclear power, is very difficult, " - said Yatsenyuk at a press conference on Tuesday.
However, he said that Ukraine expects the international financial institutions during the current year investments amounting to $ 3 billion.
The Ukrainian authorities began in April last year in the Donbass military operation against dissatisfied with the coup d'etat of residents of the region. According to the summary data of the UN, the victims of the conflict began more than 6 thousand people.
Ukrainian Authorities and Western countries many times accused the Russian Federation of interfering in Ukraine's internal Affairs. Moscow has stated many times that completely uninvolved in the events in the South-East of Ukraine, does not supply the militia military equipment and ammunition, is not a party to domestic conflict and is interested in Ukraine overcame political and economic crisis.
