"Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko’s government on Wednesday launched a massive campaign to return billions of hryvnias in failed Soviet-era bank deposits, a plan that some analysts fear may exacerbate Ukraine’s high inflation." (Ukrainian Journal)

While PM Tymoshenko gets praise from a past President of Ukraine: Kravchuk. "Kravchuk pointed out that the State Budget-2008 solves numerous social and even historical issues, for instance, the reimbursement of savings in the former USSR Savings Bank. These are really the actions, aimed at increasing confidence in power. But there is yet another moment. Politicians now strive to fulfill their pre-election promises. You know, probably, this happens for the first time through the history of the Ukrainian independence, that the authorities keep their promises”, he stressed." (UNIAN)
