Ukraine retains limited economic relations with occupied territories – Poroshenko

Ukraine retains limited economic relations with those enterprises in the occupied territories, which pay taxes to the state budget, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has said.

"We retain extremely limited and very confined economic relations. I emphasize, this is not trade with the invaders – this is cooperation with the companies, which, being in the occupied territories, were still able to stay in the legal field of Ukraine. I emphasize: those who pay taxes into the budget of Ukraine," Poroshenko said at a solemn meeting dedicated to the Day of honoring the combatants in other states in Kyiv on Thursday.
