Kiev carries huge Economic losses from the conflict with Russia, said the former head of the Ministry of transport of Ukraine Yevhen Chervonenko in broadcast television channel " 112 Ukraine ".

according to him, Ukraine could obtain a huge profit, if through its territory compositions were from China into the European Union, however because of the conflict with Russia all profit is received by Belarus.

However, he said that Ukraine in 2014 were willing to let the 1st team from Europe to China, but this was not because of the coup.

"We were obliged to put part of the container from Slovakia to China, he was from Slovakia uploaded. 7 Mar 2014 the head of Yanukovych was obliged to wave to him in Kiev with a handkerchief, but there was a revolution. And today, our codes, our scheme, from China just a week go 75 trains through Belarus, " said Chervonenko.

in addition, the ex-Minister has noticed that the European business, in personal conversations often surprised by the actions of the Ukrainian authorities, and do not understand why Kiev misses a huge profit.

Economic relations between Moscow and Kiev deteriorated in 2015, when the Ukrainian Cabinet adopted a decree on the abolition of the free trade zone during the CIS imposed an embargo on some Russian items. Then the sanctions lists were expanded many times.

Moscow, for its part, has also imposed Economic limits, but has repeatedly stressed that will cancel the taboo in response to similar actions of Kiev.

over the past period of time the trade turnover between the countries has decreased: over the 1st quarter of this year - four percent in annual terms. The exports from Russia to Ukraine is still increased by half a percent, but imports from Ukraine fell by more than ten %.
