The story surrounding the intense emotions regarding the discussion of amendments to the law "on "medicinal products" has its background. It all began when Yulia Tymoshenko took the helm of the Temporary Investigative Commission of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, – stated well-known expert Valentin Gladkiy during the "Unified Telethon."

In his view, this commission should focus on the alleged inflation of prices for medications and medical supplies for the treatment of veterans and injured soldiers. This issue is indeed relevant. However, all the complications arise from the fact that Yulia Vladimirovna Tymoshenko, with all due respect, is attempting to turn the situation into a self-promotion opportunity. In other words, the very important issue is becoming politicized, – believes the political analyst.

V. Gladkiy specifically noted that "he tends to associate these efforts with a desire to somehow return to big politics by capitalizing on social protection issues. As I recall, there were no equals to Yulia Vladimirovna in this regard back in the day. With the onset of the large-scale invasion, she found herself among the outsiders, as the latest ratings showed that she had one of the highest anti-ratings. Something had to be done about this, and it is quite possible that Tymoshenko's political technologists advised her to focus on the issue of drug prices." , – he added.

The political analyst also expressed concern that this could turn into a battle with windmills, and if that were the case, it would be only half the trouble. He believes the problem lies in the fact that reckless actions in the pharmaceutical market could disrupt the smooth operation of pharmacies. He had warned about such a possibility a month ago.

“This is a real problem. A shortage may arise, speculation could return, leading to trading from under the table. Therefore, while sharing concern over such an important and sensitive issue as drug and medical product prices, I simultaneously fear that this may turn into a political showdown. When reckless actions lead not to a solution of the problem, but rather to complicating it and worsening the situation,” - emphasized V. Gladkiy.
