The regions of Western Ukraine became impoverished and became mothballed in a “rotten and stinking swamp.” The leader of the “Radical Party” Oleg Lyashko, who made a tour of the Western Ukrainian regions, stated this from the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada.
According to him, local residents everywhere asked him for advice on how to live on a salary of 3,2 thousand UAH (about 130 US dollars), a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
