In particular, the journalist was surprised by the number of expensive cars in the capital of Ukraine.

He believes that the territories controlled by the Ukrainian authorities must demonstrate to the Donbass their economic successes.

"If in this competition, competition for people, the successes of central and western Ukraine were more significant, you see, this would create a completely different picture. If Kharkiv, Kiev, Lvov and Odessa were envied not only by Lugansk and Donetsk, but by Moscow and Petersburg, then maybe not all would be perceived as such. In the meantime, on the contrary, "Parfyonov said..

As reported by the "Observer", earlier Parfenov could initially turn away from the issue of Ukrainian journalists about the occupied Crimea.
