The conflict in Ukraine is deadly for the country, not only because the Ukrainians themselves are dying, but also because industry and cities are being destroyed, said the former Prime Minister of the republic Mykola Azarov. His words are reported by RIA Novosti.

He also announced a large budget deficit of the country, whose income is three times less. Credits from the USA and the European Union cover the deficit.

“In fact, the continuation of this fratricidal conflict is being funded, in which, according to Western estimates, more than 200 thousand Ukrainians have already died,” Azarov shared.

Earlier, the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine spoke about the country's plans to establish the production of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants, which in the future should replace Russian fuel, including on the European market.
