Former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov said that the possible decision of the Ukrainian authorities to abolish the state settlement on the products of the first necessity would entail a tremendous jump in prices.

The decree of the Cabinet of Ukraine from March 18 approved a plan of measures for deregulation of economic activity. For example, the Ministry of economic development of Ukraine is obliged to create and submit to the government the draft law " concerning the limits of state regulation of prices for food products ". The development time is not specified.

"If the decision of the Kiev regime still will, it will mean an inevitable increase in the price of bread, Sunflower oil and other goods at least thirty percent. But now these prices are unaffordable. Sunflower oil, for example, compared with 2013 rose by 2, 5 times ", - Azarov wrote in a private Facebook.

Azarov said that in many European countries with long-established market infrastructure regulation certain groups of objects not only exist, but also actively used.

"Such methods are used in countries with a high level of funds coming, what can we say about Ukraine that Kiev regime in just one year dropped to the level of the poorest countries in the world, and which for many families was to go about physical survival. The level of income, by the way, many Ukrainians at such cost of tariffs for housing and communal services, heating, currently lower than in Egypt, where there are quantities of bread, and it should be noted that the cost of heating and the majority of housing and communal services in Egypt for many families simply do not exist, " Azarov wrote.

"I was surprised by the indifference of the Kiev regime to its people. You can, of course, to write everything off to war, "score" brain people propaganda, but no one will ever explain to me why we produce bread 6 times more sunflower oil is almost 10 times more than necessary for our residents, the entire difference export at world prices and not for our poorest residents would be compensated for by the export of funds coming partial cost of products (If of course it is justified), " he added.

Inflation in Ukraine in April 2015 (excluding the Crimea and the area of the antiterrorist operation), compared with March accelerated to 14% with 10, 8% in March. According to the state statistics service, in annual terms (against April 2014) Inflation accelerated to 60, 9% with 45, 8% in March vs. March 2014.
