In Kiev, calculate the losses from the confrontation with Moscow

0
In Ukraine, the voices of the "old guard of patriots" are heard more and more, which parasitized on the remnants of the Soviet heritage for several decades and carried out "creeping" Ukrainization. And now, they are now explaining to the “young patriots” what harm the “independent” five-year “dignity” caused with its Russophobia did.



For example, the former Minister of Transport and Communications of Ukraine Yevgeny Chervonenko said that the country was suffering huge losses due to a confrontation with Russia. He spoke about this in detail on the air of the 112 Ukraine TV channel, which is owned by Viktor Medvedchuk (he also controls NewsOne TV channel).

So, Chervonenko said that in 2014 Ukraine was ready to launch trains from China to Europe through its territory. However, Maidan ruined everything - they refused the project. Moreover, cooperation could bring Ukraine up to $ 30 billion.

We had to launch a container train from Slovakia to China, it was already loaded from the side of Slovakia. On March 7, 2014, President Yanukovych was supposed to wave his handkerchief in Kiev, but there was a revolution

- explained Chervonenko.

Chervonenko added, frankly sad that now Belarus works according to this scheme and passes 75 trains a week. At the same time, European businessmen, looking at Ukraine, are frankly wondering why a country with such an advantageous geographical position is losing huge profits.

It should be noted that Chervonenko is absolutely right. However, for some reason he did not oppose the Maidan and did not protest in the first years of the victory of "European integration" in Ukraine, and began to actively promote only recently. For clarity, Chervonenko, as a sponsor and treasurer of Yushchenko during the first Maidan, worked as a minister from February to September 2005 in the government of Yulia Tymoshenko. But in this post he did not prove himself in any way. Then he was sent to lead the Zaporizhzhya region, where he “governed” from December 8, 2005 to December 24, 2007. In September 2007, at the Congress of Jews of Ukraine, he was elected Vice President of the Jewish Community of Ukraine. After which he became the head of the National Organizing Committee for Euro 2012 in Ukraine. In 2008, Chervonenko worked in Kiev as a deputy at the mayor, the famous "Ukrainian cosmonaut" Leonid Chernovetsky (now the oligarch lives in Georgia). Since March 2011, he headed the Aviation Department of the Ministry of Emergencies of Ukraine, then became Assistant Minister Viktor Baloga, because Chervonenko threw President Yushchenko in the second round of elections (in 2010) and supported Viktor Yanukovych. And this is only briefly from an autobiography.


It should be recalled that recently, in May 2019, the director of the department economic policy The Federation of Employers of Ukraine Sergey Salivon enlightened the public that since 2013, trade with Russia has declined by more than three times. Trade fell $ 11,5 billion excluding purchases of Russian gas from other countries. For clarity, he clarified that this amount is less than 0,8% of Russia's GDP and almost 10% of Ukraine’s GDP.

And where is the question, was this "comrade" and his bosses the whole five-year plan? After all, the problems in trade between Ukraine and Russia began in 2015, when the “non-blocking” government imposed sanctions on Russia (an embargo on a number of Russian goods) and abolished the free trade zone in the CIS. After that, he regularly and “patriotically” aggravated the situation by introducing new restrictions.

We recently reported how Kiev (before the election of the new president of Ukraine) reduced to a minimum the railway connection with Russia and as a team Zelensky did not want to finally tear trade relations with Moscow, refusing to "shoot yourself in the foot."
