“Russians destroyed… We hear this phrase every day. Terror, including economic terror, is their targeted policy. They destroyed enterprise, warehouse, production facility, store. So that we lose ability to work, produce, develop the country and pay taxes. Because it’s all about economic stability of the country. And all the more we appreciate every business that finds the strength to recover, work in such inhuman conditions. And fill the budget” – Lesya Karnaukh stated.

She noted that August was not easy. And the enemy is not going to stop. Total destruction is the only goal.

Economic situation in the country is a shared responsibility of authorities and taxpayers” – emphasized acting Head of the State Tax Service.
