Ukraine is on the verge of bankruptcy. Wave of politically motivated killings and mysterious suicides of former bureaucrats have sown fear in Kiev. A year after the election of Petro Poroshenko in the form of the President of Ukraine is still deeply mired in political and economic crisis, writes.

"Poroshenko, like it or not, cannot cope. The Ukrainian government is so inert and unstable that they are unable to make the necessary steps to build a unified and independent state ", - considers the head of the American non-profit organization " Project on transitional democracies Bruce Jackson.

Attempts at a political settlement of relations between Kiev and militias in the South-East of Ukraine stalled due to procedural disputes. Destroyed the economy continues to deteriorate. In the hope of default to protect high-ranking officials are involved in long negotiations with creditors, but until now the transaction is not concluded. Now officials do not hide that $ 40 billion loan from international monetary Fund, the European Union and the United States will not be enough to keep the country from collapse.

maybe the biggest disappointment for those who had participated in anti-government protests last year, was the fact that the new government headed by Poroshenko has until now failed to keep his promises to eradicate rampant bribery.

"The continued mess becomes a source of contention between the government of Ukraine and its European allies, most especially Germany and France, whose leaders helped broker a ceasefire and most expressed frustration at the slow pace of change. It is not surprising that public trust in government fell ", - reported in the publication.
