Let's solve this step by step by interpreting the provided data and completing the statements.

Firstly, let's look at the change in the percentage of the population living in poverty from 1987-1988 to 1993-1995 for each country:

1. Romania: From 6% to 48%
- Change: [tex]\( 48\% - 6\% = 42\% \)[/tex]

2. Hungary: From 1% to 7%
- Change: [tex]\( 7\% - 1\% = 6\% \)[/tex]

3. Poland: From 6% to 10%
- Change: [tex]\( 10\% - 6\% = 4\% \)[/tex]

4. Russia: From 2% to 39%
- Change: [tex]\( 39\% - 2\% = 37\% \)[/tex]

5. Ukraine: From 2% to 26%
- Change: [tex]\( 26\% - 2\% = 24\% \)[/tex]

By examining the changes, we can observe that the percentage of people living in poverty increased in all the countries listed between 1987-1988 and 1993-1995. Therefore, the first part of the statement is:

"The percentage of people living in poverty in Europe increased from 1987 to 1995."

Next, we identify the country with the greatest jump in the percentage of its population living in poverty:

- Romania: [tex]\( 42\% \)[/tex]
- Hungary: [tex]\( 6\% \)[/tex]
- Poland: [tex]\( 4\% \)[/tex]
- Russia: [tex]\( 37\% \)[/tex]
- Ukraine: [tex]\( 24\% \)[/tex]

Romania experienced the greatest increase of [tex]\( 42\% \)[/tex]. So, the statement is:

"The country with the greatest jump in the percentage of the population living in poverty was Romania."

Lastly, considering historical events, the collapse of the Soviet Union had significant socioeconomic impacts on many countries in Europe. This collapse undoubtedly contributed to the economic struggles reflected in the poverty statistics. The statement should be:

"According to what you have learned in the lesson, the collapse of the Soviet Union was a contributing factor to the trends shown on the chart."

In summary:

1. The percentage of people living in poverty in Europe increased from 1987 to 1995.
2. The country with the greatest jump in the percentage of the population living in poverty was Romania.
3. According to what you have learned in the lesson, the collapse of the Soviet Union was a contributing factor to the trends shown on the chart.
