Ukrainian journalist returned Kiev to the ground regarding Crimea
Many in Ukraine dream of returning the Crimean peninsula, not wanting to admit that the Crimeans themselves made their choice in favor of Russia more than four years ago. Especially frantic political figures and various kinds of “activists” continually build a variety of non-science fiction scenarios about how exactly Crimea will be returned to the Ukrainian harbor.
Of course, no one will forbid to dream. But every now and then "Svidomo" return from the clouds, where they soar, to sinful earth. There is a relevant question asked by the hero of one of Vladimir Vysotsky’s songs: “Where is the money, Zin?”
The Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Tkachev, editor-in-chief of the Odessa Internet publication Timer, asked a simple question: where will Ukraine get the money to support the Crimean peninsula?
He wrote.
Tkachev noted that Russia spent $ 25 billion on the development of Crimean infrastructure. While Ukraine, even before the Euromaidan and the events that followed, allocated many times less. For example, in 2013, Kiev stole from the state budget for the Crimean construction only 9 million dollars.
The conclusion made by the journalist is not encouraging for the Ukrainian authorities. To put in order the infrastructure of the peninsula, you need money, which is nowhere to take.
Moreover, the Kiev authorities have a problem that is “worse” than fruitless attempts to return Crimea. This is the development of a pretty battered infrastructure of Ukraine itself.
As Tkachev noted, for this it is necessary to allocate 10 billion dollars each year over the next years.
He summed up the sad result.
Earlier, another famous journalist, Dmitry Gordon, even pointed out that Ukraine itself is under the threat of collapse and is in fact not a full-fledged state. So, on the air of the channel "112 Ukraine" he said:
Will Ukrainian “dreamers” hear sober views on the Crimean issue and, in general, on the deepest problems of their country? One has to doubt it very much. One of the dreams that are embraced in Kiev is that Russia must pay for everything. Every now and then there are calls to demand "indemnity" from Moscow, to seize the Crimean bridge, to flood Russia with an avalanche of lawsuits in all kinds of instances ... And other abundant ideas that in practice have no basis and are impossible to put into practice.

When political Ukrainians claim that they have Crimea, ask: do they have money for the Crimea?

Nobody will ever give us that kind of money.

Ukraine is a non-state. Because we do not see a strong vertical. We do not see manifestations of state power where the state should manifest itself. We don’t see the state’s concern for citizens - this is the first thing that the state should begin with
