Prime Minister Vladimir Grosman believes that the main economic problem of Ukraine – the pressure of external debt, which amounted to more than 65 billion U.S. dollars. The head of the government assures that most of the debt was generated by predecessors in 2007-2014 years.

“The biggest problem from an economic point of view is the pressure on the state external debt, most of which was accumulated before 2014. In fact, from 2007 to 2010, the government took (in debt) to $ 26 billion. 26 billion dollars despite the fact that Ukraine does not become stronger. The government from 2010 to 2014 took over 20 billion. In fact, total debt today is 65-plus billion dollars that lie on the shoulders of the Ukrainians and the Ukrainian economy”, – said Groisman.
