Servant of the People MP suggests pensioner sell her dog to pay utility bills
An unconventional solution to the situation.
Servant of the People MP Yevgeny Bragar advised a pensioner who called the studio of 112 Ukraine to sell her dog to pay for utility services.
The woman called the TV programme with a question for the MP about how she could pay her bills, especially for gas, on a pension of 2,000 hryvnias. The MP began calculating how much she spends on utilities and found that the pensioner is left with -107 hryvnias per month.
Initially, the MP proposed arranging a subsidy for her, but then suggested that she might not be receiving it because of some other valuable property she owns. According to the MP, such property could be a dog, which could easily be sold to pay the bills.

Servant of the People MPIt is hard to get by in these conditions, but we do not yet know whether she has any other property... If the dog in the yard is of an elite breed, she can sell it at any moment and pay without trouble.
Note that this same MP filed a police complaint against a volunteer who refused to ride a bus because of a Russian-language TV series. The young woman then asked the driver to turn off the Russian series, as she was riding from the funeral of her young man, who had been killed at the front.
Today activists are calling on the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to amend legislation and ban broadcasting music and films without headphones on public passenger transport.
