KIEV, July 30 – Russian military aggression and the trade war against Ukraine have caused great damage to the industrial potential of the country and has lowered the living standards of Ukrainians, President Petro Poroshenko has said.

"I know how hard it is to live for most of you… Unfortunately, mainly this is the price of war. Investment does not come to the country during the war, and 25% of Ukraine's industrial potential has been stopped," Poroshenko said during events to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Metropolitan of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Andriy Sheptytsky in Lviv on Wednesday.
