The leader of the Ukrainian Choice movement, Viktor Medvedchuk, tells us that the new Ukrainian authorities did not do anything that they shouted from the stands on the Maidan. According to Medvedchuk, which he published on the website
"Ukrainian choice", the industry is destroyed, no reforms have been carried out, the real fight against corruption is not being waged, the economy is in a state of shock.
Viktor Medvedchuk, who represented the Ukrainian side in negotiations with representatives of the DPR and the LPR, writes:
The achievements of the Yatsenyuk government are obvious: inflation in the 2014 year was 24,9%, and in February 2015-th accelerated in annual terms to 34,5%. The president admitted that every fourth industrial enterprise in the country had stopped, 10% of the industry was completely destroyed. Exports and imports are rapidly declining, wholesale and retail trade is falling due to a sharp impoverishment of citizens. At the same time, against the background of the collapse of the economy, the authorities made a sharp increase in the national debt of the country (by 88,4% over 2014 a year) and continue to attract foreign loans that are completely unaffordable for servicing. And from the former strategic reserve of Ukraine there were only memories - gold reserves decreased in 2,7 times.
Medvedchuk adds:
Investors are fleeing the country, fearing not so much the conflict in the Donbas as the unpredictability of government actions and over-regulation of business. They are frightened by the lack of reforms and the corruption of high-ranking officials. And if Kiev’s excuses, it is difficult to carry out reforms because of the armed conflict in the Donbas, the West somehow perceives, then neither in Ukraine, nor in the European Union, nor in the United States do not understand why there is no fight against corruption.
But corruption, political lobbying, embezzlement and bribery in Ukraine still exist, and on a much larger scale than during the times of the “corrupt regime” of Yanukovych. According to the former Prosecutor General Vitaly Yarema, the threat to the state is represented by the “corruption of officials who, without hesitation, launch their hand into the state pocket. The scale of theft at the highest levels of power is simply amazing. The implementation of shadow schemes devastates the budgets of all levels, causes millions in losses to the state in the banking system, in the oil and gas sector, the transport industry, and the agricultural sector of the economy. Unfortunately, the old corruption schemes received new owners ... For 2014 a year, a greater number of officials were involved in the commission of corruption and economic crimes than in previous years of independence. ”
At the same time, Medvedchuk adds that the authorities themselves do not say a word about failures in work. The same Yatsenyuk, having received guarantees from the IMF for a loan of 17,5 billion dollars, said that this is a great success of the Ukrainian government.
