American economist: Kiev has an “unheard of” position on government debt

American economist Michael Hudson commented on an article in The Nation, former US State Department Advisor James Cardin, on the implications of the recent agreement by the Ukrainian authorities and international lenders to write off 20% of the national debt, stressing that Kiev’s position is “unheard of” because it requires restructuring the country's debt as if it is private.

According to Professor Hudson, the International Monetary Fund needs to convince the Ukrainian authorities that the funds of the National Wealth Fund of the Russian Federation, invested in Ukraine, should be considered as a national debt.

"If the IMF will allow Ukraine to cancel its obligations on Russian bonds, the consequences can be drastic," Hudson cites RIA "News".

At the same time, the economist stressed that in the event of such a development, it will be clear that the IMF has refused to apply international legal norms with respect to the Russian Federation.

According to him, if in December Ukraine intentionally declares a default on the Russian debt, it will show that international law is closed for any state that the United States considers to be its rival.

“To make matters worse, the IMF loan and the benefits of debt restructuring (whatever it may be) can counterpose the oligarchic nature of the country's economy, which is so widespread in government corruption,” he stressed.

Kiev has an "unheard of" position on public debt

Not the right word - the position is simply unprecedented))).
But seriously - how much will we indulge our "partners" ?!

[captain]

I do not understand this professor, he writes all sorts of rubbish. Kiev has just a normal position on debt, based on the mentality of the leaders of Poroshenko (Valtsman), Yatsenyuk (Bokai), Groysman and 705 deputies of the Rada, who are citizens of another overseas state. Ahi and okhi of some commenting here are superfluous. Every nation deserves its rulers.

And do not indulge it as in your mind?

But seriously

Seriously, it was Kosovo. The Russian Federation from all the stands stated _ It is not so, Serbia does not agree. But ... Then Crimea unexpectedly happened somehow, Ukraine certainly does not agree, as well as the world community, which has already shrieked earlier, RECOGNIZE KOSOVO. But ... Really BUT. But their lawyers are silent, a precedent has been created. You won’t get anywhere.
Now, Ukraine does not want to pay the Russian Federation, well, it recognizes the world community, and then what? Today, Ukraine is on payments of the Russian Federation, and tomorrow, who and what payments?

Well, will show what? Just think, open secret. But the fact that Russian debt is placed in Eurobonds and is regulated by the EU financial legislation changes the matter. If Ukraine refuses to pay these 3 billion, a dangerous precedent will arise for the debtor to refuse his obligations. Does Europe need it? Barely calmed down Greece ..

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko at a meeting with representatives of territorial communities presented new coats of arms of several regional cities, including Lugansk, Donetsk and the Russian Crimea. The press service of the Ukrainian president said that the coats of arms of the cities of Ukraine and Crimea were invented as part of the announced decentralization process. “Each coat of arms, each city of Ukraine has its own unique pattern, its own characteristics. And these such different patterns, these different colors together form a single and unique Ukraine. And Kiev, and Galicia, and the Donbass, and Crimea are all Ukraine, ”Poroshenko said.

Vladislav Brig, deputy head of the committee on international affairs of the Donetsk People’s Republic, commented on the initiative of the Ukrainian president to the Ukraina.ru publication. “Fools constantly have some strange concerns. Coats of arms are drawn, which no one asks for, talk about events that no one needs ... This is an activity to divert the attention of their public from the problems that arise on the eve of the heating season and the massive sacrifices that the next boiler will bring, which Ukrainian troops will certainly fall into in case of an offensive, ”Brig emphasized.

Kiev’s position is “unheard of,” as it requires restructuring the country's debt, as if it were private.

Even an American economist draws attention to the fact that Kiev has completely lost its sense of proportion.

“If the IMF allows Ukraine to annul its obligations on Russian bonds, the consequences can be radical»

And I hope that in this case the consequences will not take long. They want to help Ukraine, help, but out of pocket. All these years, Russia has helped the country, which doused it and mixed it with shit.

Svidomo managers certainly behave impudently. Writing off 20% of the debt will not help them much. And the fact that they don’t want to give us back was understandable for a long time. That’s what’s going on. We’ll wait and see ....

This debt is in Eurobonds hmm. The British fund acted as the guarantor, it is money, in case of refusal of Ukraine to pay, and must return, but apparently the "partners" can and "throw", now they make more and more decisions "according to concepts".

[atamankko]

The height of arrogance and lawlessness.

[Voha_krim]

It’s one thing that the economist says, and quite another - what the State Department will say to the Ukrainian economists! With the words of the State Department, Ukraine !!!

They will not pay, but the USA will be covered. And the snot of the Russian Federation will erase and a discount on gas for Parashka and coal for Svidomo. So you will see.

There are as many positions in the Ruin as there are positioners in their parliament headed by Porosenkin ... And they will choose the position that his left leg wants! And you are talking about some kind of compliance with international norms, rules and laws ...

In England, precedent is right. If we are thrown, then according to this right, since a precedent has been created, ours may also not pay debts to the British, and who in this case will suffer more is a big question? And based on this right, Russia may not pay

The people, taught by forced "purchases" of Gosszaim bonds back in Soviet times, spat en masse when "buying" Ukrop bonds worth 3 billion! Back in December 2014, not only the people, but also the SMART experts warned about the disastrous outcome of such a fool!

[Mountain shooter]

The fact that the dill is trying not to repay the debt, it was clear immediately after the coup. Still easy to get off. There generally 15 lard loomed. But they can’t help but give. This is a precedent! If Russia is placed outside the legal field of European civilization, then it may not return loans? But it will be ayabrik financial system! I’m not sure that the West will want to take such a risk.

[Anchonsha]

This American is surprised ... And why does the junta behave this way, is not afraid of anyone and does not want to answer for anything? Only because of the position of the United States itself, which Bandera considers patrons due to the fact that they are opposed to Russia. But such a situation cannot last longer than at most 3-4 years at present due to economic instability in the world. The United States in its behavior is so unstable in relation to any of its accomplices (that’s exactly what you need to call everything related to aggressive actions and relations with the United States) and only now can they bind themselves by seeming friendship with mattresses. Even the geyropeytsy already feel a special grasp of the United States in relation to them, and not everyone is aware that the United States wants to completely drop the European Union economically and make it militarily incapable. And this will make the complaisant Brussels-based officials-inmates to be with the United States in one harness against Russia

Now, if Kiev said that I would return all the debts at the cost of all debts, then this would be an unheard of position!

American economist: Kiev has an "unheard of" position on public debt.
So the Americans laughed with Ukrainians. Our problems with paying for gas did not teach them anything.
Here are a hundred pounds of Ukrainians will not give them money.

[roskot]

They did not know and do not know such a word to give. There is a word to restructure. In Russian it will be depressed.

[samoletil18]

An unheard-of position is when the ukraine says that it will return the debt in five minutes. And so, nothing "unheard of"

[Senior manager]

International law ceased to exist with the collapse of the USSR, immediately after the American fascists felt that the opportunity to get on the scoreboard had passed, and that means you can do whatever you want under the guise of slogans about protecting "democracy".

[Vega]

It was just that someone was scared that what if they didn’t get their debts back, then they would scream at the trampling on "democracy."
