Martial law backfired on Ukraine with panic in the foreign exchange market
Panic began in Ukraine due to the possible introduction of martial law due to the aggravation in the Kerch Strait.
The dollar exchange rate in the country has begun to collapse, and this can only be corrected by unblocking the strait.
Deputy Victoria Syumar stated this from the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the politician, fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate could cause a serious blow to the Ukrainian economy.
“The Kerch Strait is a route for Ukrainian exports, these are two Ukrainian ports - Mariupol and Berdyansk, which ship goods from the metallurgical industry, which is a filler for the Ukrainian budget itself. And therefore the task of the Russians is to block the Kerch Strait. And we need to unblock it by all possible means,” the deputy said.
True, she immediately clarified that first of all we are talking about unblocking through diplomatic means.
“The next task is to prevent chaos and panic, because our disputes with you are not in the office of the head of the Verkhovna Rada, but here everywhere in public, they intensify this panic. Who benefits from this? Is this beneficial to Ukraine? This benefits the enemy. If today there are already such fluctuations in the exchange rate, we can only imagine what further consequences this could have for the Ukrainian economy. Therefore, decisions must be calm and verified,” Syumar said.
As PolitNavigator reported, today the Verkhovna Rada Approved the introduction of martial law by 276 votes.
