Ukraine has become a leader in self-harm

53
Federation Council member Alexei Pushkov summed up the "achievements" of Ukraine in the outgoing year. He shared his conclusions on Twitter.





One of the main achievements of Ukraine Pushkov called the blockade of the self-proclaimed DNR and LNR, initiated by the official Kiev. The price of such a step cost the republic 1% of GDP. In this regard, the senator called Ukraine "the country of the year" to inflict losses on itself.

Ukraine is the "country of the year" for self-inflicting damage. Donbass blockade price: 1% of GDP - 1.8 billion dollars. Moreover, the blockade was imposed by Ukraine itself,
quotes Pushkova RIA News.

Earlier, Prime Minister of Ukraine Vladimir Groysman said that due to the economic blockade of Donbass, the country's economy suffered damage equal to one percent of GDP. The official noted that Kiev needs to increase production of its own energy resources and sell them abroad.

Recall that in January of this year, the radicals blocked the export from the territory of the self-proclaimed DNR and LC of any cargo, including coal. This led to a shortage of fuel in Ukraine. At the same time, the authorities of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics found a way out of the situation and began to export coal to third countries. After that, the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine approved the proposal to introduce a full cargo transport blockade of territories outside Kiev’s control from 15 in March. It was stated that this measure would be in effect until the enterprises in the DPR and the LPR returned to Ukrainian jurisdiction.

          Pushkov, a member of the Federation Council, which country is interesting? If Russia, then it would be more logical to think about the Russian Federation, and let Ukrainians take care of Ukraine. In general, it is not clear what kind of institute the Federation Council was invented? Over the entire period of its existence, the impression has been that this is an organ on the one hand for honored pensioners, and the other half are the most successful thieves from the regions. Sincerely.

          Donbass is not their own for them. They never considered and don’t consider residents of Donbass as such. However, this is so. Ukraine is an artificial entity, Donbass, Kharkov, Odessa are the original Russian lands .....

        hi But you don’t have to do anything, he will rot. Already what the Czechs are patient with regard to dill fortresses, but they also howled. Cunning ... e Ukrainian "visa-free" in violation of the rules for granting them an EU visit for 90 days without the right to work, permanent residence and a number of restrictions apply the "circulation" method en masse - after living in one of the EU countries, they move to another 85 days, then in the third and so in a circle (circulate). True, this method was not invented by Ukrainians but by Bulgarians and Romanians. Goal for fiction is cunning.

      Of course they’ll help, for the third carbon came with coal, though where it loaded the second coal, the first thing that’s interesting is when the first to the President of Ukraine made a present, it’s a coal lump, but somehow they didn’t inform about such bags from the second and third carbon clamped or what? And on the other hand, they throw Petrukh away, and instead of golden loaves on his hut are bags of coal ....

        I don’t know about the oil workers dying of hunger, but I didn’t understand the article’s sending either - what the author of the article suggests is that the Ukrainians, as in the good old days, would buy coal from the Donbass, spitting on the fact that they have in essence, there is an undeclared war.

          So they buy gas, electricity from the Russian Federation and go to Russia to earn money, although they call the Russian Federation an aggressor and a 25 or 26 war with the Russian Federation! Why can't they as in the good old days, they bought coal from the Donbass [B] [/ b]
          and why foreign countries buy Donbass coal. through Russia if they support Ukraine and sanctions against the Russian Federation?
          The undeclared war you mentioned is called the civil war. asked the Donetsk -For what you began to bomb? they do not know. and Donetsk go to Ukraine for retirement. and Ukrainians have business in Donetsk and the Russian Federation.

        A tired oilman comes home from work and says - The price of vodka has risen. Then the youngest howl yell - UrrrA! Now the folder will drink less !!! .... The folder looks at him and with a sigh says - What are you taking off your shoes for? That you will eat less now.
        Oil workers, of course, are different, but if they had such a bad financial situation, it would be better to go to medical orderlies. At least those oil workers whom I know in the Komi Republic cannot be forced to leave the industry in any way. They just love the need.
