«No one says that the crisis has transformed from a short-term factor into a permanent one. And when it will be taken into account in decisions of investors, logistics companies or the banking sector, then we will get a completely different regime for the growth of our economy. And here we must call for adequacy, including the leaders of states,» he said.
It should not be so that the two leaders of nations quarrel and two peoples suffer from it. We must not allow two peoples, business to quarrel tomorrow. We stand on the verge when it is not about the growth of the country, but its survival.

It is clear that the main markets are in the north ( and ), but one must think that the situation may recur in the future,» he said.
We do not know how political processes will go further. We must be ready for different options.
