“While our clowns are in the Rada accepted an appeal to the Americans to give Ukraine the status of a NATO partner (that is, they simply shook the air), Russia continued to drive another nail into the coffin of the Ukrainian economy. That coffin into which Poroshenko kicked us with the blockade of Donbass. March 22 Russian The State Duma finally banned transfer of funds from Russia to Ukraine using foreign payment systems.
