Finance Minister of Ukraine Victor Pynzenyk believes that the “fact of yesterday’s publication” of his letter to Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko concerning the economic situation in the country was a provocation.

The Ukrainian Finance Ministry’s press-service disclosed this to UNIAN.

“I’m not familiar with the publication in the Internet. A Finance Minister usually writes many reports to the government. They are not meant for a public discussion, and are posted at the web site of the Finance Ministry. I assess the yesterday’s publication as a provocation”, V.Pynzenyk said.
