Today (Thursday) Ukraine entered the eighth day since the Russian invasion of its territory, and apart from casualties on both sides and destruction inflicted by Russian forces across the country, following the sanctions imposed on the Russians and the inability to move around the war zones, prices of many products will rise.

spoke with Liat Ron and Matan Khodorov on 103fm and responded:

"I hope the war will end and things will be calmer and more normal again.

Some of the products will become more expensive in the world, we can not go against the world, we make many efforts every day to deal with the cost of living in the country, and I am convinced that we will take further steps that will allow us to alleviate the situation.

As for the importers, I suggest to any importer who does not try us and catch a ride on the price increases in the world, I offer this in a friendly offer because if it happens, it will become unfriendly moves.

I'm not threatening, it's an offer. "

We will not sit on the sidelines if consumers seem to be celebrating

"If the state sees that there are importers who will cost much more and take advantage of this thing, we will intervene in the matter," he clarified.

"I hope there will be no need, I say - we as a state and as civil servants will not be able to sit on the sidelines if it seems that strong elements with market power are harnessing their power to celebrate consumers. I want to hope that does not happen."

On the crisis of interns, Blnikov said: "This legend that we do not give money to what has been agreed is only urban. Everything agreed by the ministers we respect to the end.

There is an outline presented by the Ministry of Health, the ministers signed and we are in favor of carrying out the outline. From him, they are not acceptable to us. There are problems with friends, there is a severe shortage of doctors in the country, unfortunately for many years because they neglected the matter

. It will take time, it hurts to see the shortage of doctors and we can only correct the mistakes that have been made in the past. "
