Near one and a half thousand of agrarians picketed the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine today.

According to an UNIAN correspondent, participants of the action held placards with inscriptions: “No to elimination of rural areas!”, “Budget to peasants, not to oligarchs!” and others.

Participants of the protest action held big pitchfork and scythes. According to the words of the participants, now they have to use these tools because of insufficient funding in agriculture.
