Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Lytvyn has said that the problem with the flu epidemic in Ukraine is being politicized.
"The flu epidemic in our country will end after the presidential campaign," the parliamentary press service quoted him as saying at a meeting with Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos in Kyiv on Tuesday.
"I get the impression that Ukrainian politicians have subtly switched the attention of the people to this problem, while all other problems have stopped being urgent. The problem exists and it should be resolved, but Ukraine was offered hysteria, and the people serve as an election tool," Lytvyn said.
Moratinos, in turn, said that Spain is ready to share its experience in fighting the flu epidemic and provide assistance in this to Ukraine.
