“People often ask how many loans we received, and where did the loans go? I can officially state how many loans Ukraine has received from international financial organizations. In total, we have now received $8,6 billion, of which do you know how much we paid for debts that we did not make, and for interest on these debts? 9,1 billion US dollars,” Yatsenyuk said.
According to him, “2014 was difficult, and 2015 will not be easier.”
“We have no other way but to move forward. Overcoming all difficulties, overcoming all obstacles, in constant struggle. This fight is both against an external aggressor, which is Russia, and against an internal aggressor, which is corruption, irresponsibility, and inefficiency.
Therefore, with this mood we move on and will continue to do so. We will go through thorns and to the stars. To those stars that are on the flag of the European Union,” Yatsenyuk announced.
