Yatsenyuk: ‘Why Are You Asking Me about the Economy? I’m Just the PM’

Prime Minister of Ukraine rejects all responsibility for Ukraine financial crisis. The citizens protesting against financial hardships should voice their complaints to the Head of the National Bank.

Arseny Yatsenyuk outraged the Ukrainians with his answer to the question of how one can exist on mere salary. The Prime Minister, speaking about the disastrous economic situation in the country, decided to evade the responsibility for the rapid devaluation of the Hryvnia.

Yatsenyuk answering to a question of a well-known Ukrainian journalist on how can Ukrainians survive living from paycheck to paycheck, when the Hryvnia fell to an unprecedented rate of more than 30 UAH per dollar, Yatsenyuk made a surprised face, and then shifted all the responsibility from himself, as the Head of the government to the Head of the National Bank, Valeria Gontareva.
