During a meeting of people's deputies of the Our Ukraine faction with Volyn journalists, member of the People's Rukh of Ukraine group Vyacheslav Koval presented an analysis of the activity of Viktor Yanukovych's Government. In particular, Vyacheslav Stanislavovych identifies several points in Yanukovych's work: "The start of work is characterized by a 1.5-fold increase in bread prices, which was caused by rising grain prices, the second point of activity is tragic, and it is connected with the explosions of shells in Artemivsk and, recently, near Melitopol." Another stage — the ill-conceived pension reform, which caused mass outrage among citizens. After all, according to the people's deputy, reforms should be carried out "so that they are felt by the majority of citizens, and not only by those who have a connection to the mine or metallurgy." Among the "great merits" of the current Government's activity, Vyacheslav Koval includes entry into the Single Economic Space, which "led to an increase in prices for fuel and other everyday consumer goods." According to the deputy head of the NRU, "there is also no answer to the question of where 10 billion in budget funds went and why they were not used to implement social programs or pay pensions." The deputy is also concerned about the reduction of the minimum wage from 237 UAH to 205 UAH, which is "a direct violation of the Constitution, because a new law cannot worsen existing conditions." Proceeding from this, Vyacheslav Koval does not see Viktor Yanukovych's chances in the presidential elections as serious. He claims that the current authorities know about this too, and that is why they continue to look for new candidates for the post of president.
