It is running out both for Dnipro as well as for Kyiv and Odessa. It is running out for the whole country. Please, give birth to any, but final decision. If you will drag it for one more week, we will definitely lose interest towards this issue. We are serious people and we understand the scope of tasks. I hope that you do as well.”
