Danyluk said that the Ministry of Finance needs to determine other possible economic losses of the state until the end of the day, March 16.
We will remind, on March 15, held an emergency meeting of the Council, which was the culmination of a tense situation by blocking ORDO. The national security Council took the decision to stop trade and transport links with the occupied territories.
The President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said that the organizers of the blockade of trade with the occupied Donbass did not need negotiations regarding the control of movement of goods, but only PR.
