The economic collapse in Ukraine.
B. AYO, 08/30/2019
Ukraine is sinking deeper and deeper into the very abyss of a monstrous economic catastrophe and total depopulation. So recently at a meeting with ATO veterans, the Foreign Minister of Ukraine Klimkin said that in a few years half of the inhabitants of Ukraine will be abroad. The IMF also predicted a reduction in the population of Ukraine and a loss of 30% of the workforce and advised hiring old people.
According to statistics, the population of Ukraine in January of this year decreased by 30.5 thousand people, and for the whole of 2018 - by 233 thousand people. According to statistics provided by the United Nations, two people leave Ukraine every minute.
In November, it was reported that the number of Ukrainian guest workers in Germany over the year increased by 10%, and recently the number of Ukrainian guest workers in Poland increased 5 times.
At the same time, many Lviv guest workers prefer to go to Moscow instead of Poland because of better working conditions and higher pay. In particular, Lviv guest workers, relatives of ATO fighters, also go to the Russian Federation and help their children punitive Russian ruble.
In general, in the first half of 2019, 164.6 thousand citizens entered Russia from Ukraine, 13.7 thousand Ukrainian students entered Russia in the first two quarters of 2019, and more than 164 thousand came from Ukraine to the Russian Federation in the first half of 2019 migrant workers.
In general, according to official figures, over the past 25 years it has decreased by almost 9 million people, and according to unofficial figures - by 20 million, given those residents who have long settled in the EU and Russia, but are still in Ukraine.
As always, in Ukraine there is a terrible rise in prices. Ukrainians in particular are very complaining about the high cost of vegetables and fruits. So, the purchase prices for potatoes in August 2019 almost doubled compared to the same month last year and amounted to about 11 UAH / kg. It should be noted that for the first time this year, Ukrainians began to import, during the period directly harvesting their own crops, potatoes from Belarus (there it costs 7 hryvnias per kg), allegedly because of a poor harvest.
In general, in 2019, a significant increase in purchase prices is observed for all vegetables. In particular, the most notable increase in prices was for tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and cabbage; borsch set vegetables in Ukraine in 2018 almost doubled in price - to 56.6 UAH.
According to Kyivvlast experts, according to average prices in large grocery chains, as of early May 2018 and early May 2019, traditional Ukrainian borsch with meat increased by 41% over the year, and vegetarian borsch (without meat and sour cream) for the same period rose 2.4 times. At the same time, the average salary in the country grew by only 22%, rising from 8382 UAH. in March last year to 10237 UAH. in March 2019, and the minimum wage increased by 12% - from 3723 UAH. up to 4173 UAH
It should also be noted that on June 1, the so-called electricity market was launched in Ukraine. The new model provides for the transition to a free trade in electricity: prices should be regulated exclusively by supply and demand. And two days after this program, the price for industry rose by 22%. This is due to the fact that the cost of its transmission was added to the price of electricity, which was previously included in the tariff. For business, the tariff increased by 20-30%.
According to experts, rising electricity prices put the economies of large industrial consumers on the brink of disaster. This led to an increase in the cost and non-competitiveness of products in foreign markets, followed by a reduction in production, disruption of planned investment programs, and the inability to further increase salaries to production personnel.
According to some experts, in general, a new electricity market was introduced specifically to boost prices. New intermediaries appeared and tariffs increased. As we see, the Ukrainian authorities and capitalists deliberately carry out liberal reforms, which lead to higher prices for their products and increased profits.
Since June 1, gas has risen in price. So in June, Naftogaz began to supply gas for the needs of the population at a price of 6299 UAH per 1000 cubic meters, which is 5.2% higher than in May. It should be noted that the main election promise of almost all Ukrainian politicians, including Zelensky, was a reduction in tariffs for blue fuel.
On April 3, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine demanded that Naftogaz reduce the price of gas. However, the head of Naftogaz Kobolev said that neither the government of Ukraine, nor the parliament can reduce gas prices, since raising tariffs is the main condition for cooperation with the International Monetary Fund. In response, on April 17, the head of the Cabinet of Ministers Groysman threatened to dismiss the head of Naftogaz for this, noting that, in fact, Naftogaz is demanding the cancellation of the government’s decree.
Later, on July 5, the government adopted a decree which introduced a new form of tariff calculation, thus obliging Naftogaz to reduce the price of gas by about 7.5%. As a result, prices really began to decline, and then Naftognaz filed a complaint against the government with the administrative court, demanding a return to the old calculations.
In so! The snickering bourgeois monopolist, stricken by a slight decline in his fabulous profits in favor of a people robbed to the pen, is already suing the government itself! That's how insatiable, impudent and selfish Ukrainian economic elite is!
It should be noted that on May 31, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine reported that the level of investment in the Ukrainian economy fell sharply, on May 24, the World Bank called Ukraine the poorest country in Eastern Europe, and in October last year, the IMF recognized Ukraine as the poorest country in Europe. On May 30, the World Bank ordered Ukraine to begin trading in land.
And under pressure from the IMF on June 13, the Party of the Servant of the People announced the start of trade in Ukrainian land within a year. By the way, back in July, the World Bank and the EU began preparations for the opening of the agricultural land market in Ukraine.
Zelensky also recently passed a law on the privatization of a number of major Ukrainian companies, in particular Ukrzaliznitsi, Turboatom, Ukrspirt, Centrenergo and the Ukrainian GTS. Zelensky also intends to legalize the gambling business, some drugs and prostitution in Ukraine, hoping to deduct tax payments to the treasury from this.
On March 11, Fitch confirmed Ukraine’s defaulted credit rating, and on August 21, Ukrainian Prime Minister Groisman said that non-payment of external debts threatens Ukraine with default. On the same day, during a government meeting, Groisman said that from 2005 to 2013, Ukraine was “completely dependent on external and internal creditors in the form of a public debt,” which is a very big burden for the national economy and for every citizen. Today, every citizen of Ukraine owes the IMF $ 2 thousand.
As we see, the total impoverishment of Ukraine forces Zelensky to take such extremely unpopular measures as selling the state, getting into regular debts and legalizing some forms of crime.
We add that in December, the German edition of Sueddeutsche Zeitung published material stating that Washington and Brussels support corruption in Ukraine through the IMF. In early December, the head of the advisory mission of the European Union to Ukraine, Kestutis Lancinskas, calculated that Ukraine was losing $ 2 billion a year due to corruption, and in November IMF resident representative Yosta Lyungman said that due to the high level of corruption in Ukraine, the growth of gross domestic product (GDP) slows down by almost 2% per year.
In addition, pan Zelensky is actively meeting with some leaders of foreign states who have a very dubious international reputation. And at the same time, he is literally trying to establish the sale of Ukraine to these countries directly.
So, during a recent meeting with Erdogan in Turkey, Zelensky cheerfully reported to his “partner” about lifting a moratorium on the sale of land, “delighting” him with the fact that Turkish companies that own land already work in Ukraine. At the same time, the Ukrainian president hopes that there will be significantly more such companies, especially in the southern part of Ukraine.
In addition, Zelensky called on Ankara to help rebuild the Donbass, and also proposed cooperation "to change the situation in the Black Sea." Erdogan, in turn, reiterated his earlier statements, confirming that Ankara’s position on the Crimean peninsula has been and will remain unchanged - Turkey does not recognize Crimea as part of Russia, and also supports the sovereignty of Ukraine.
Against the background of the Turkish gambit Zelensky, the chairmen of the extremist so-called “Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people” banned in Russia, Chubarov and Dzhemilev, stated the need to raise the issue of introducing a permanent monitoring mission in Crimea in the international arena in order to fix “all human rights violations on the peninsula”.
According to the so-called “representative of the President of Ukraine in Crimea” Korinevich, the Russian authorities allegedly do not allow human rights monitoring missions on the peninsula, and therefore Ukraine should insist everywhere, on all platforms, that the OSCE has the right to enter Crimea.
In general, representatives of the Crimean Tatar "Mejlis" are funded by Ankara and in their interests to connect the peninsula not to Ukraine, but to Turkey.
At the same time, in May last year, the deputy was happy, one of the leaders of Tatar extremists, Dzhemilev said that Russia secretly resettled about a million Russian-speaking citizens in Crimea.
It is interesting that, in the guise of Zelensky’s communication with Erdogan, Dzhemilev suddenly announced his readiness to convene a constitutional commission and submit to the Verkhovna Rada a bill on the creation of the Crimean Tatar autonomy, for which they say that very favorable circumstances have developed right now. Moreover, Dzhemilev is confident that Zelensky will support this idea.
In addition, the Mejlis will initiate bills on the status of the Crimean Tatar people and indigenous peoples of Ukraine. According to extremists, it is also necessary to amend the Constitution of Ukraine on the status of the autonomous republic of Crimea, and to give it the Crimean Tatar territorial status.
It is interesting that earlier the former speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Voloshin was outraged by the “impudence” of the Mejlis’s members, who require much more constitutional authority than is stipulated for the Donbass by the Minsk agreements.
In short, Tatar extremists hope that Zelensky will allow them to create Crimean Tatar autonomy, including Crimea and the territory of Ukraine, where many Tatars live (for example, Kherson).
By the way, Turkey’s plans for Ukraine go very far. Erdogan wants to turn Kherson into a Turkish enclave, and resettle Crimean Tatars from all over the world and from Turkey. That is why Erdogan is now financing the construction of a giant mosque and the Tatar cultural center in Kherson.
Thus, a Muslim Tatar region will be created on the territory of Ukraine, the extremist circles of which will maintain ethno - social tension on the border with the Russian Federation, with subsequent plans to capture Crimea and other Russian territories with the participation of Turkish and NATO forces. And then all these captured lands, including Kherson, will become part of Turkey.
By the way, according to experts, the trade and energy blockade of Crimea, which was organized by Crimean Tatar extremists with the support of law enforcement officers in 2015, was organized with the aim of economic strangulation not of Crimea, which, with the beginning of the blockade, became more plentiful and cheaply supplied with food and electricity from the fraternal Kuban , and - Kherson, who since the end of the Soviet Union received food from the Crimea and is now economically the most depressed region of Ukraine.
And after the blockade and the loss of supplies from the Crimea, Kherson sank completely to the bottom. The result is the outcome from there of the Slavic population. By the way, this outcome is also provoked by some Tatar extremist groups, organizing various, including armed, showdowns with Russians and Ukrainians.
Thus, the purpose of the blockade of Crimea was to squeeze out the Slavs (both Russian and Ukrainians!) From Kherson and its settlement by Tatars and Turks. This started back in the days of Poroshenko, who, thanks to this service, enlisted the support of Erdogan in his strategy of forcibly returning the Crimea. And this same line, as we see, continues Zelensky.
But Turkey is fooling its Ukrainian "partners." Its goal is the restoration of the Ottoman Empire by capturing a number of territories of Ukraine, Russia, Armenia, etc.
And on August 19, a meeting between the Bandera punisher Zelensky and the Zionist aggressor, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, took place in Kiev. They raised the issues of cooperation between Ukraine and Israel in the fields of agriculture, energy, food industry, pharmaceuticals and transport.
At the same time, having arrived in Kiev, Netanyahu's wife Sarah threw bread and salt to the ground at the airport, and the Ukrainian military met the Israeli prime minister with a greeting from the Nazis of the OUN-UPA “Glory to Heroes!”
The visit from my point of view of the war criminal Netanyahu (carrying out the merciless genocide of the inhabitants of Palestine) to fascist Ukraine, which is killing the population of Donbass, is a landmark event! Let me remind you that Israel supplies lethal weapons, medical equipment and military specialists to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and also supports the Kiev junta.
At the same time, Zelensky asked Netanyahu to recognize the famine caused by drought and crop failure in the Ukrainian SSR as “genocide” (and on October 4, 2018, the US Senate, this Israeli military-political master, recognized the “famine” as genocide of the Ukrainian people).
And, attention, comrades !! Super - Muper Opus Pan Zelensky !!! Following a meeting with Netanyahu, the President of Ukraine promised to ratify the agreement on the payment of pensions to former Ukrainian pensioners, people with disabilities and the liquidators of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident, who repatriated to Israel after August 24, 1991.
In response, the Israeli prime minister expressed deep gratitude to his Bandera compatriot Zelensky for this!
Here is such a post-Maidan Bandera power! The working people of Ukraine can barely make ends meet, vegetating beyond the cost of living, while at that time the ruling junta spends 6 million bucks daily on criminal aggression against the Donbass. At the same time, pensions from Ukrainians are meager and Kiev, despite the requirements of the Minsk agreement, refuses to pay pensions to residents of LDNR (owing us about a billion hryvnias).
However, Zelensky, in the conditions of total impoverishment of Ukrainians, decided to start paying pensions to very poor Jews living in Israel!
Well, isn't that nonsense ?! Is this not a mockery of Ukrainians ?! Is this not a spit in the face of the peoples of Ukraine and the Donbass ?!
I think that Netanyahu’s unexpected visit to Kiev is due to the fact that his fellow tribesman - the Ukrainian buffoon Zelensky - decided to gain political support for his sweetheart Israel in his war crimes in the Donbass. In exchange for .... economic assistance to Israel from Ukraine in the form of pensions! So it happens ...
So, as we see, after the fascist putsch, which was organized in 2014 by snickering oligarchs with the support of Euro-American imperialists, Ukraine was on the verge of an economic disaster. The state spends a lot of money on criminal aggression in the Donbass, while the bourgeoisie mercilessly rob people, paying workers a penny and constantly raising prices. Moreover, all this is explained by the costs of “trench life” and the need to tighten belts tighter for the sake of victory “over Russia”.
In order for the population not to starve to death, the junta has to take loans from the IMF, the EU, the World Bank, etc., most of which are stolen by corrupt officials, and miserable crumbs remain for social needs.
In general, the West, with a grin on a well-fed face, is giving Kiev more and more tranches, tighter and tighter tightening the debt loop around the neck of Ukrainians. But the Ukrainian authorities, including those due to unpaid debts, are quietly selling out the state - they are giving away something to Turkey, something to the EU and the USA, something to Israel ....
But when will the Ukrainian workers get this mess and senseless war in Donbass !? When will they finally perk up and pick up the forks to sweep away this damned Bandera regime ?!
