Such a "war": the Russian Federation has strengthened in first place among the trading partners of Ukraine

61
The Ukrainian Observer portal cites a statement by General Vasily Vovka, the former head of the State Security Service of Ukraine. The Ukrainian general believes that the time has come when Ukraine should completely block the border with the Russian Federation, and not be limited to freezing railway communications. Vovk declares that "if war is already going on, then the border must be closed completely."

Such a "war": the Russian Federation has strengthened in first place among the trading partners of Ukraine




Against this background, Ukraine’s economic reports suggest that Russia once again ranked first among all foreign trade partners Square. Trade volumes from the Russian Federation are comparable to trade volumes with all EU countries taken together.

Meanwhile, in response to the statements of Ukraine about readiness to stop the railway communication with Russia, as well as in response to the seizure of the Russian tanker “Mechanic Pogodin” in the port of Kherson, in the Russian Federation there were claims that a possible option of a complete boycott of the Ukrainian ports was being prepared by shipowners. According to preliminary estimates, a boycott of the Ukrainian ports on the Black and Azov Seas may lead to the loss of the Ukrainian economy to 2% of GDP annually.

It should be noted that the Ukrainian statements about the need to close the border with the Russian Federation have already been heard for the fifth year in a row - since the emergence of Yatsenyuk’s idea of ​​building a so-called “European shaft”. At the same time, Ukraine has banned entry for male citizens of the age from 18 to 60 years, to which the Russian Federation has not yet responded mirror, and therefore hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian migrant workers continue to easily cross the borders either in Russia or in the Ukrainian direction, exporting from RF billions of dollars.

            Since 91, we have not owed anything to any former "brotherly" country, especially since we took all the debts of the USSR upon ourselves, and the "brothers" came out clean. And why should we think about some kind of konotop when there is no work in our Kondopoga. We have already fed these wide 20-odd years with our free gas and an open market, but what do they do to us? There are still parasites left, but father and Armenia, we are also carrying them on our backs.

            Visas, entry closure, complete blockade, including transit of goods in transit through our territory. Exception for LDN citizens. Very quickly Chubari choke in his dung. By the way, this also concerns our Georgian genatsvale, otherwise they screamed again about 08.08, it’s too early for us to remove the sanctions, it's too early ....

    In words and crying in front of Europe, they have been waging a "bloody war with the aggressor" for many years, but in fact they also manage to earn money. Rather, "SP-2" would be launched, a bypass railway has already been built, and probably a visa regime would not hurt.

    ------------------------
    The people of Ukraine are for the most part heterogeneous and multinational. Don't forget. that the left bank of the Dnieper is in fact the Russians. The Bandera cult is preached by the western regions. In 2014, no one in the Russian establishment wanted to tackle the Ukrainian problem closely, instead there were assurances of "territorial integrity", although Crimea was separated by a referendum. Minsk tried to seal up the rest of the problems. Until the dismantling of Ukraine is carried out, all this will continue. The only problem is that liberal policy generally presupposes the dismantling of states, and this problem is urgent for Russia too. In the topic about the transfer of the capital, this was discussed.

    a possible option for a complete boycott of Ukrainian ports by shipowners. According to preliminary estimates, a boycott of Ukrainian ports in the Black and Azov Seas could lead to the loss of the Ukrainian economy up to 2% of GDP annually.

    Is it about Russian? So they rarely come in and mostly leave normally. The cases of arrest are rare and everyone knows (and for that it’s also clear)
    If it’s about international, then this is understandable crazy. Nobody was going to boycott the main sea gate of Ukraine. They are safer than the Azov gates, and accessibility is better.
    At the same time, Ukraine has banned entry for male Russian citizens aged 18 to 60, to which the Russian Federation has not yet responded in a mirror,

    Here's the game ... Men have more demands, you need an invitation from the Ukrainians. Women cross freely, and men ask for an invitation. Well, it is clear that the active army and other servicemen will not receive permission (and this is better than being an "GRU Agent" caught somewhere in Ukraine)
    One and a half million Russians who visited Ukraine in 2017 cannot be only women.
    exporting billions of dollars from Russia

    here I will reassure the Russians. Long ago began the reduction of that money from the Ukrainians to Ukraine from the Russian Federation. What is the total. Well, it has become more profitable to work in the EU than in the Russian Federation, even despite the language barrier. All the same, life in the Russian Federation has become more expensive and less paid. And just dangerous at times (partners also catch "Ukrainian saboteurs with a saw")

    Despite all mutual threats and insults, Russia has been and remains Ukraine's main trade partner this year. Ukraine's exports to Russia in the first quarter of 2018 amounted to $ 853 million, which is 8% less than in the first quarter of 2017. But on the other hand, imports from Russia to Ukraine in the 2018st quarter of 28 grew by 2017% compared to the XNUMXst quarter of XNUMX. Paradox? No, not a paradox, but coal and chemical products. Ukraine this year actively purchased coal and chemical products from Russia, as well as engineering products, but not so actively. So it turns out that according to the words of our and Russian politicians, the Russian Federation is the aggressor and the main enemy for Ukraine, and according to business processes, which are often associated with representatives of the Ukrainian and Russian authorities, and at the same time Ukrainian and Russian oligarchs, money loves an account. Policy separately, and income separately. For Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs, trade has been and will be profitable. They worked and will continue to work, and even increase the volume of transactions, but Ukrainian and Russian politicians will continue to scare the Ukrainian and Russian peoples with "bad uncles", but the money will still go into the hands of Ukrainian and Russian politicians.
