“Makhnovism is the worst way to go out… From such actions no good”, – added the head of government.

He stressed that the blockade of the tubing resulted in the loss of control of all assets in the tubing, and now, instead of payments to the Ukrainian budget, taxes and other payments will be used to support combat actions of criminals.

The issue of the blockade on the selector lever has arisen in connection with the request of the head of the Sumy regional state administration Mykola Klochko about supporting law enforcement officers in connection with the proposed deputies from “Samopomichi” in the coming weekend of action to block train deliveries of coal from Russia. According to the head region, these actions should not divert attention from the problems of the Lviv garbage.
