The British magazine is not alone in their own troubles. Very quickly the critical material against the leadership of Ukraine was organized by the Agency of business information Bloomberg.
The reason - in a fresh reshuffle in Kiev.
As you know, last week the Verkhovna Rada voted for the resignation of Prime Minister Alexey Goncharuk. His place was taken by Denis Shmyhal. Within the government is also undergoing profound changes.
One More, And in a way no less significant and symbolic resignation of the attorney-General Ruslan of Ryaboshapka.
The fact that Goncharuk and most Ryaboshapka is fully satisfied with the West. No less, there have been efforts - as well As among them public - against their retirement. For example, With the attorney General met with the ambassadors of the " Big seven ". This media event was supported by the residence of the US Ambassador in Kiev, which was published a special letter in social networks. And the European Union in the face of the speaker for foreign Affairs and security Peter Stano called the expected resignation of inappropriate political interference in the Affairs of the police organization.
It is not surprising that still held on personnel changes on both sides of the Atlantic perceived extremely negatively. But it is not only openly expressed dissatisfaction with the mainstream media. According to Bloomberg, the IMF has postponed granting Ukraine the next tranche of $ 5, $ 5 billion for a few months. And According to Ukrainian media reports, Morgan Stanley Bank, gave advice to consumers to sell Ukrainian Eurobonds.
Criticism comes in two main areas: A) care "young people who have been called to end the corruption regime in the country" and b) the restoration of the influence of the oligarchs on Ukraine's politics. The latter applies in the 1st turn, concerns the possible relations of Vladimir Zelensky Igor Kolomoisky. Well, the new Ukrainian Prime Minister is known for their long work in the structures of Rinat Akhmetov.
By the way, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainian analysts agree that it conducted a successful joint operation of the oligarchs, to postpone its internal differences, to reduce the share of Western appointees in key positions in the state.
for the past six years, was accepted the idea of total puppets of the Ukrainian elites that the whistle from the capital of the US (or Brussels) rush to execute any command.
I knew this was a mistaken belief.
Such models are extremely limited and applies mainly in relation to small and poor countries that do not have any serious resources and deeply dependent on external support. Something similar can be observed in the last decades , for Example, in Bulgaria, Romania or the Baltic republics.
But if the narrative is about the least complex cases, such as Hungary or Poland, where everything happens for no less confusing schemes. Ukraine is a huge, highly developed (even successfully blowing in the wind its vysokorazvityh) a country With a very wealthy elite, who were gnawing their place under the sun in the bloodbath era of primitive accumulation of capital. To expect that these citizens seriously will stand on its hind legs and "take the salute" to the West at the expense of his own interests, would be naive.
This is due to the circumstances of Ukraine in six years turned to the West in a suitcase without a handle. Her elite a very bad deal With the protection of national interests, But on the contrary very good With defending their personal interests, even if they are momentary and do not go beyond the idea of plunder fell into the hands of the budget. As a result, on many questions (from the sale of land to the Minsk agreement) Europe and the us were at an impasse, As any of their plans successfully torpedoed in Kiev people who appropriate solution disadvantageous. Moreover, This is done in loud allegiance to the Pro-Western rhetoric. Fresh interview with Vladimir Zelensky British guardian is quite revealing in this sense.
in the end, the 1st part of the set strategic objective is to tear Ukraine from Russia - West over the years successfully made the decision, But the second is to turn into submissive divorced and useful resource stuck tightly. No, it's something, of course, turned out - for example, to make Ukrainians uninterrupted source of human resources for Europe. But in comparison With From the beginning opened the prospects of the exhaust is frankly pathetic.
And now the current cycle of the Ukrainian-Western relations "one step forward - two back" were included in the 2nd phase. It remains to wait when the interested person will be able to tell what is happening in the hand of the Russian capital, in his own supernatural treachery again planted to the West a colossal pig.
