Three people died in queues near savings banks in Ukraine

Three people have died of heart attacks queuing for compensation near savings banks in Ukraine till January 21.
They have not managed to survive the tension and the pressure of the crowd. Many citizens have been taken to hospital. Dozens of heads of district bank affiliates have been fired for not being able to establish order in queues.

Prime Minister Yulia Tsimashenka demands that bank affiliates should impose the responsibility of paying compensation for the debts of the former USSR to post offices. Postmen will have to deliver big sums of money to people’s houses and they have nothing but gas-cans to protect themselves with.

Policemen will accompany them in some regions.
Every citizen who kept money in the Soviet Savings Bank has a right to get a compensation of not more than 200 USD. 1 hryvnia 5 kopecks will be paid for every Soviet rouble.
