According to Mykola Azarov, the former Ukrainian Prime Minister, Ukraine's economy is a "zombie" that only has one lifeline: Western financing.
The former PM wrote on Telegram on Monday that the economy was "falling apart,"
Azarov argued that Ukraine's national economy is “falling apart,” with Ukraine facing little GDP growth and a potential devaluation of the hryvna "under pressure from the International Monetary Fund."
Meanwhile, despite Western help, state debt is rising, and the fiscal deficit is growing, according to Azarov.
“The best illustration of the catastrophic state of affairs is that the budget of the country at war lacks more than $6 billion to pay the Ukrainian military alone,” Azarov remarked.
Azarov alleged that despite Kiev's pledges, the families of Polish mercenaries slain during the fighting had not received any compensation. Ukrainian economy resembles a 'zombie'
“As a result, the Ukrainian economy increasingly resembles a ‘zombie’ – it shows signs of life only with foreign financial assistance, which it requires more and more,” Azarov observed.
Ukrainian media reported on Friday, citing a senior conscription officer, that almost nine out of every ten Ukrainian draftees who enlisted in the army a year ago have either been killed or injured in combat.

Wow! Being bombed and invaded by a neighboring nation four times larger than yourself is bad for the economy???? You don’t say!
My heart bleeds. NOT.
It is right and fitting that the USA in particular, but also NATO nations have given Ukraine upwards of $200 billion - because they caused this war.
It should, for the Women, Children that are being sold out of Ukraine currently. Add in the drugs. 45% of there current GDP. Ukraine has no need to sell grain to Europe, that’s not why he needs the trade routes open, which most countries are blocking including Poland. They know why, and the western media won’t touch the story with a 100’ pole.
Applause.
I guess he got “Bombed In Ukraine”.
What is shocking is what I heard in a podcast a few days ago.
Supposedly in the spring of last year a sweet deal had been worked out. Putin was going to withdrawal all troops from Eastern Ukraine and cease combat ops. In return all Zelensky had to do was:
1. Guarantee independence, no NATO. Be a buffer state basically.
2. Forgo any claims on Crimea
3. Allow the 2 eastern most provinces to vote by popular election to stay with Ukr or become Russian satellite countries. If the former to guarantee no reprisals against pro-Russians and to allow any who wanted to leave to Russia to be allowed.
Supposedly that Neo-con ass Johnson arrived and talked Zelensky into war.
Unlike what the pro-Ukr people here say it’s far from a simplistic “Putin wants to conqueror the world” scenario.
The U.S. tax dollar is now the bedrock of their economy.
So now we know why Putin is hunkered down/dug in. Just waiting while the crazy Ukes destroy themselves and make off with the billions they've managed to con from the West.
He's waiting for the roof to fall in on the disaster of a country -- and its crooked leaders. All of this while the conman clown Zelensky jets around the world with his well-oiled propaganda machine threatening anybody who will listen to hand over the $$$$$, or else.
We can add this debacle to our glowing list of accomplishments....
- Vietnam
- Iraq
- Afganastan
- Libya
- Syria
Will it ever end?
Yes. But not well!
CIA regime changes rarely work out well for the proxy warriors.
The CIA’s motto: “Regime-Change-R-Us.”
I agree with you, in all those cases the USA was the cause of all the death and destruction, it’s amazing that countries keep falling for the con job the war machine in Washington keeps selling
Now we’ve upped the ante by including the US Dollar and the SWIFT system into the war machine and are on a path to lose reserve status of our currency
1. Ruzzia does not get a voice in who does or does not join NATO.
2. Crimea belongs to Ukraine and it looks like they’re going to take it back. A lot of Ruzzians might have to die along the way. if so, then so be it.
3. Ruzzian citizens and anyone else aligned with Ruzzia are enemy aliens and must be deported back to Ruzzia from any country they infest. Their continued presence is an existential threat to their host countries.
Wisely, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, and more are identifying and deporting the Ruzzians colonizing their countries and they are rightfully de-Russifying their countries.
That’s where Ruzzian demands have gotten us to.
The economy has actually been great for Zelensky
What do you think of the hit list (of American critics) that The Ukraine created?
Not surprising given the damage Putin has caused.
1. Israel does not get a voice in who does or does not join My Big Club.
2. Israel belongs to Palistinians and it looks like they’re going to take it back. A lot of Jews might have to die along the way. if so, then so be it.
3. Jewish citizens and anyone else aligned with Israel are enemy aliens and must be deported back to Israel from any country they infest. Their continued presence is an existential threat to their host countries.
Wisely, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, and more are identifying and deporting the Jews colonizing their countries and they are rightfully de-Judaize their countries.
That’s where Jewish demands have gotten us to.”
History does’nt always repeat,but rhymes.
I’ve seen this hateful trash before.
Throw away the trash and find a better way.
You don’t, by chance, know the Ukrainian Tranny threatening all of us, do you?
