The decision of the European Union to return duties on Ukrainian goods could lead to a 70% reduction in exports this year and put Ukraine on the brink of recession. This was stated by the head of the Economic Committee of the Verkhovna Rada Dmitry Natalukha.
"This may create an idiotic situation where we will be forced to come and ask you for money, instead of just making money through trading. Ukraine is being forced to become a beggar," said Natalukha, quoted by <url>.
