In Ukraine, an increase in the poverty rate in the country was reported to 37%

Since the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis, the poverty rate in the territories controlled by Kiev has increased to 37%. This was reported on July 19 by the Telegram channel "Politics of the Country" with reference to the statement of the head of the Finance Committee of the Verkhovna Rada Daniil Getmantsev.

"This is due to the fact that all the economic processes taking place in the country occur with a certain minus sign, because it is influenced by conflict, negative expectations and everything else," Getmantsev said.

According to him, a drop in poverty can be expected only after the end of the conflict.

He added that although Western governments did not consider the situation with the non-payment of Russia's debt to be a default, private investors nevertheless paid attention to it.
