The Government of Ukraine is asked to ban the importation of cars produced in Russia to the Market Square. The corresponding letter was sent to the head of the Cabinet of the Transcarpathian parliamentarians of the Verkhovna Rada, Robert Gorvat, Vasily Petovka and Valery Lunchenko. "We believe that it is necessary not to restrict, but completely ban the import of vehicles from the aggressor country (Russia), so we turned to Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman with a proposal to include vehicles that originate from the Russian Federation in the list of goods that are prohibited by importation into the customs territory of Ukraine. We consider such actions appropriate and logical in the prevailing conditions, "- Pan Gorvat wrote on Facebook. Currently, the Ukrainian parliament is preparing bills that should resolve the situation with the import and use of used cars with foreign registration in the country.. Also offers Transcarpathian people's deputies relate to the increase in the rates of excise tax on the import of passenger vehicles from Russia. The deputy's request says that numerous appeals from local auto industry enterprises are being received by people's deputies with requests to restrict the import of cars made in Russia, reports Delo. ua. According to the publication, for 7 months of 2018. imported vehicles from Russia to Ukraine for $ 59 million, which is 14% more than the same period last year. It is also noted that today, in the Square, the only plant that produces cars is functioning - this is the Eurocar enterprise, which is located just in the Transcarpathian region. According to the association "Ukravtoprom", for 9 months of the current year it produced 4388 cars.

In Russia, in addition to domestic brands, almost the majority of well-known foreign auto brands are made - Audi, Citroen, Mitsubishi, Peugeot (Kaluga), BMW, Cadillac, (Kaliningrad), Chevrolet (Nizhny Novgorod, Kaliningrad, Tolyatti, St. Petersburg), Ford ( Naberezhnye Chelny, Vsevolozhsk), Hyundai, Kia, Opel (Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg), Mazda (Vladivostok), Nissan (Tolyatti, St. Petersburg, Moscow), Skoda, Volkswagen (Nizhny Novgorod, Kaluga), Toyota (St. Petersburg , Vladivostok) and a number of others. Perhaps, Ukrainians will buy Russian cars in the same way as now Kiev buys our gas — by reverse through Europe, and Donbas coal — through the Russian Federation, Poland and Turkey.
