Yushchenko: Our hryvnia is a pound sterling

“Our hryvnia is a pound sterling. It was not only a small change, but a conventional unit that was used to pay. Yaroslav from Novgorod brought his father hryvnias every year,” Yushchenko said.
The lover of antiquities did not specify whether the Yushchenko family today prefers to keep their savings in modern hryvnia, or, in order to insure against the depreciation of the hryvnia, unpatriotically prefers foreign currency.
