Kyiv, December 16 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – Today, borrowers brought tires to the Verkhovna Rada, demanding that the authorities recalculate their dollar loans at the rate at the time of concluding the agreement with the bank, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
However, near the parliament building, whose deputies are working in committees this week, the protesters stayed for about an hour, then set off to march through the government quarter.

The first stop is on Lipskaya Street, where the parliamentary committee on finance and banking is located. The protesters began to demand that people's deputies - members of the committee - come to them, and also chanted “No to Knyazevich’s law!”
“We are talking about the law adopted by parliament in July of this year, when we besieged the Verkhovna Rada, blocked the roadway, demanding a recalculation of debts,” said the rally participants. – As a result, the Rada adopted a law on the restructuring of foreign currency loans authored by Ruslan Knyazevich. We were told that this document was a compromise, but when we began to look into it, it turned out that the debt repayment schedules provided for by this law could even last 100 years! In essence, instead of one credit yoke, they want to throw a new one on us.”
Soon the protesters tried to break into the committee building, as a result of which it almost came to a scuffle with the police. As a result, the initiative group of borrowers was allowed to go inside.
After some time, the head of the committee, Sergei Rybalko, came out to the protesters, saying that his colleagues on the committee did not support Knyazevich’s law, and called on those gathered to disperse.
It is worth noting that at times quite radical demands were made among the protesters. For example, some participants shouted “Down with the Jewish gang” towards the bankers or “Scum” towards the police.
