Ukraine’s ex-PM said Kiev risks facing sugar crisis after grain crisis
Former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov said that Kiev, after the grain crisis and blocking of borders, would face a number of difficulties, including the sugar crisis. According to him, this will be the result of thoughtless integration into the economic space of the European Union, RIA Novosti reports.
As Mykola Azarov noted, ‘the more Ukraine moves along the path of European integration, the more crises there will be on its way, such as the grain crisis and the carrier crisis’.
According to him, in the wake of solidarity with Ukraine, EU countries gave too many different privileges, without requiring in return that Ukrainian enterprises comply with all the technical and other standards that EU companies are required to meet. It is because of this, the ex-PM explained, that other crises will arise. According to Azarov, the sugar crisis is next in line.
