Co-chairman of the Opposition Bloc Party Borys Kolesnikov has stated inevitability of punishment is needed for real fight against smuggling in Ukraine.

“The main problem is that the prime minister declares war on smuggling in the hall where at least two-thirds are involved in smuggling schemes … Smuggling will continue while there is no inevitability of punishment. And it is impossible without the assistance of law enforcement agencies,” Kolesnikov said on the air of Ukraina TV Channel.
