"The real
source enabling us to improve #social_standards considerably,
and to finance the army, and startfunding the programmes for
employment and new jobs, is US$1.5 billion the sum that was arrested
and is storedin the Savings Bank of Ukraine, but no judgement on asset
forfeiture has been delivered for the two years ",stressed Prime
Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk during an Hour of Questions to the Government
on Friday, February 19, at the Verkhovna Rada.
The Prime Minister
said that had appealed to the Prosecutor's Office and the whole Ukrainian
law enforcement system for several times to bring this case to end,
to confiscate these assets.
"We will transfer them
immediately to the state budget of the country. And I ask for the
support of the Parliament and to ensure the adoption of a separate
law to make it easier for prosecutors to perform their
functions in confiscation of these funds", said the Prime
Minister.
