Viktor Yanukovych stressed that he would dedicate his special attention
to supporting growth of the country's middle class and reducing the
number of poor citizens. "This is the policy I’m going to pursue," said
the President at his today’s press conference.
"We must strive
for a fair model and a fair country. We must seek to support middle
class," said Viktor Yanukovych, adding that now about 30% of the
Ukrainians live below the poverty line.
"That is unacceptable.
We must work to make state resources, public funds and government
policy contribute to development of middle class, decreasing number of
poor people and making the rich share with the poor," said the
President.
Certainly, he noted, we must be ready for ambiguous
reaction of the society to reforms being implemented. "I, first of all,
must not care about my own ratings but development of the whole
country," said Viktor Yanukovych.
