Strong Economy Is a Guaranty of Ukraine’s Security – Dmitry Firtash
While Ukraine's economy is weak, the country will be at risk of conflict. This was stated by the President of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine Dmitry Firtash during the international round table “Ukraine in Europe: Peace and Development”, which was held on October 1 in the Austrian capital.“In today's Ukraine, GDP per capita is only about 3.5-4 thousand dollars. Countries with such indicators are constantly at risk of conflicts. If an economy is weak, a country is always on a tinder-box. An explosion can occur from anything. Only the strong economy will guarantee the security of Ukraine”, said the President of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine.
The Round table “Ukraine in Europe: Peace and Development” was organized by the NGO “German-Ukrainian Forum”. More than 150 influential politicians and experts from Germany, Austria, Ukraine, Great Britain and France took part in the discussion of the ways out of the crisis. In particular, the Professor of the Faculty of Economics at the Westphalian Wilhelm University, former Prime Minister of the German Federal State of Saxony Georg Milbrandt, Minister of Economic Affairs, the Vice-Chancellor and Minister of Foreign Affairs, former Chancellor of Austria Wolfgang Schüssel, Chairman of the Austrian-Ukrainian Parliamentary Group Axel Kassegger, former Federal Minister of Finance of Germany, the author of the euro rescue plan during the 2008 crisis Peer Steinbrück took part in the round table. Also the Advisor to the President of Ukraine Marina Stavniichuk, Mayor of Kiev Vitali Klitschko, President of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine Dmitry Firtash, former Head of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine Andriy Stryzhak, President of Ukraine (2005-2010 years) Viktor Yushchenko participated in the event from the Ukrainian side.
