Groisman reacted sharply to the proposal to increase the minimum salary

Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman said on the proposal of the deputies to raise the minimum wage to 5,000 hryvnia.

Such a proposal put forward to the Prime Minister, MPs from the Radical party of Oleg Lyashko.

“The radical party has just introduced a bill to increase salaries from October 2017 to 5 thousand hryvnia,” — said on Tuesday in Parliament MP Viktor halasyuk.

However, the head of the government reacted very strongly to such a proposal, calling it populist rhetoric.

I promised that there will be 3 thousand 200 hryvnias the minimum wage, I have fulfilled my promise. 5000 is unrealistic figure, which is now impossible. It’s just populist rhetoric, the Prime Minister said during a meeting with urban, rural and village heads at the meeting of the Board of the Association of Ukrainian cities.

Recall from 1 January 2017, the minimum salary of Ukrainians increased by half — from 1600 to 3200 hryvnia.
