During consideration of the no-confidence motion to the Cabinet of Ministers in the Parliament, members of the government were confident that wouldn’t be dismissed, first vice Prime Minister Serhiy Arbuzov said in interview with the ICTV Ukrainian TV channel.
"The Verkhovna Rada is the place, where you can never predict how the vote will end. But I tell you, we were confident that we had done nothing to be dismissed for. Voting confirmed that," he said.
According to first vice Prime Minister, the statements of the opposition are unfounded. "The opposition talked about figures, which can not be proved," Arbuzov said.
At the same time, he stressed that it is wrong to accuse the government of the fall of construction pace and some other indicators. "We were accused of fall in export operations. They have not dropped in Ukraine, they dropped in neighbor countries. There is global crisis and crisis in Europe. We were accused of spending gold and foreign exchange reserves. One has to ask what we spend them on, and I will answer: we spent them to repay the debt of the previous power, we spent them for our hryvnia to be stable," the first vice prime minister summed up.
