KIEV, Dec. 5 – Ukraine will retain its financial stability if the crisis in the country is quickly settled, otherwise there is a threat of destabilization, First Deputy Prime Minister Serhiy Arbuzov said.

"If the situation is drawn out and provocations are be seen, and today there are many provocations: one says that people have started withdrawing deposits and the exchange rate is growing [neither of these seen as of today] then one could wake up to an increase in the price of bread," he said in an interview with the Fifth TV Channel on Wednesday.
