Ukrainians will no longer stand the increase in tariffs for gas, which is an indispensable condition for the country's lending to the International Monetary Fund. Therefore, Ukraine should threaten creditors with non-fulfillment of obligations in order to achieve more favorable conditions, said Verkhovna Rada deputy from the People's Front party Alexander Kirsch. He stressed that it is necessary to proceed not only from the cost price of blue fuel, but also from the ability of citizens to pay tariff increases. According to him, Kiev needs to start bargaining with creditors, making tough accusations, up to stating the issue of default. "You can ask the IMF the question of default with the same seriousness as Greece did.

To blackmail the IMF with a default, do not be afraid to do it, "Kirsch said in an interview with the" Obozrevatel ". The deputy is sure that such actions of Kiev will frighten international creditors, since Ukraine acts as a barrier between Russia and Europe. "If Ukraine is ill, the West will be even worse, because the barrier separating the civilized from the uncivilized, the West from Russia will collapse," he said, adding that it should be reminded to the West of the failure to fulfill the security guarantees of Ukraine prescribed in the Budapest Memorandum. writes RIA FAN.
