You can’t offer what you cannot control..... Ukraine has had so much corruption and leaders without any common sense to even know how to establish Ukraine on the World Stage. And few willing to assist them to do otherwise.
But of course now that Putin’s made his move the revenue will flow.
BTW the IMF will control Ukraine if they accept their offer...the stipulations are much like other nations the IMF gets involved with..you simply do what they say to gain the revenue offered.
I can’t disagree with you about the IMF, or what you say about the corruption in Ukraine, and if scouring that corruption out and adopting a free market economy is what you mean by “control”, I’d agree with that too. But as far as the Ukraine economy goes, IMO what it needs is LESS Soviet-style control (which is itself a huge invitation to corruption), zero Russian interference, and a large dose of free market capitalism.
Unless he has 100% control of it, Ukraine will never be rich or strong under Putin, but then, even if he did have 100% control, success would not happen either, because Russia’s model for success is heavily dependent on energy exports. Without those, Russia would be a failure.
Granted, without a booming energy sector, where would the U.S. be right now...
