If the Ukrainian government fulfills the requirements set by the International Monetary Fund to receive the next financial tranche, this will bankrupt an already impoverished country. Such an opinion was expressed by the former Prime Minister of Nezalezhnaya Mykola Azarov. According to him, Kiev is not in a position to give up money, but it can not get a loan on acceptable terms, as its credit rating is at the default level. "The current regime needs to deal with economics and finance, and not fool around and constantly get into loans," the former prime minister said in an interview with the publication "Economics Today". He stressed that meeting the requirement to raise gas prices by 23% will bring the Ukrainians to the handle, and the country's industry will become even less competitive. "The position of the IMF is clear - at what price do you buy gas in the world market, at this price, plus taxes and taxes, you should sell it to your own population and industry," Azarov said.. Answering the question about the external debt of the country, Nikolai Yanovich said that if you collect all the debts of Ukraine, then the debt "exceeds GDP, and the ratio there will be about 115%". "The country approached full bankruptcy," the former head of the government said, adding that now the situation is saved only by "handouts in the form of loans from international financial organizations" and grants from the European Union and other countries. He is sure that the Independent can still be saved, but for this it is necessary to raise the national economy and limit the leakage of capital abroad. "It is impossible to calmly watch how billions go in an incomprehensible direction, when the same billions of countries have to take in the form of loans.

With this it is necessary to finish, "- concluded Azarov.
