The RT article deceptively omits the 4.63 billion dollar judgement against Russian Gasprom. Even TASS mentions it. Any daily penalty will be in the Ukrainian favor since the Russians owe the Ukrainians twice as much.

Ukraine is a primarily example of a nation run by treasonous elite which doesn’t care about their country even a little bit.

In 1992 they were better off than Poland and ten years later Mexico was doing better than them. In another ten years they were on par with Iraq and now there is Congo in sight.


They were not better off than Poland. Anyway, I'm not going to make excuses for their political elites but to the large extend this is fault of Russian influence over there.

As for comment you could easily switch Ukraine for Russia. Without its natural resources Russia would fall down completely. Some oil and gas rich countries have ability to improve standards of living of their citizens and Russia struggle with this so much.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia had the unique opportunity at least to improve relations with its neighbors. Unfortunately, nothing like that happened.

What Russian influence? Yankovich wasn’t elected till 2010. Also he was as pro-Russian as Karzai is pro-American.

You are right about the “treasonous elite.” The Verkovna Rada has 400 deputies for 18 regions. Most of them have more than one passport. Their only interest is looting that beautiful country.

Too many bounds between two countries, with Ukraine being in state of dependency on too many areas. Ukraine would have more chances to succeed without eastern part of the country. Russian meddling over there started long before they seized Crimea.

On other hand Ukrainians hardly deserved to become independent country. It was granted to them after fall of the Soviet Union, they didn't really had any patriotic elites willing to run the state. Instead power was handed to oligarchic mafias with other priorities. They could not handle such oversized country with too many citizens of doubtful loyalty.

in 1992 Poland and Ukraine’s GDP was the same, with Ukraine slightly ahead. Now Poland has double the GDP with a lower population.
