“In general, compared to last year, we are several percent behind in tax collections. In a tax sense, Donetsk and Lugansk practically do not exist. In August the shortage was about 900 million, in July more than a billion. In the Donetsk region, 397 legal entities ceased to exist, in the Lugansk region - 196. These are mainly industrial enterprises,” he said.
Earlier, the IMF admitted that the situation in the Ukrainian economy is developing worse than the predicted scenario. The reason given was the continuation of hostilities and the shutdown of Donbass industry.
