В МАРИУПОЛЕ 2015-Й ОБЪЯВЛЕН ГОДОМ КУИНДЖИ

2015 год в Мариуполе объявлен Годом известного русского художника Архипа Куинджи. Автор таких шедевров, как «Украинская ночь» и «Лунная ночь на Днепре», родился в Мариуполе в 1841 году в семье бедного грека.

Среди мероприятий в этом и следующем году планируется проведение выставок-конкурсов живописцев, экспонирование семи оригиналов работ Куинджи – эскизов и этюдов, которые он писал в так называемый период молчания. Эти работы предоставит Одесский художественный музей.

In Ukraine, employees are fewer in number than pensioners

By Vladimir V. Sytin
The Ukrainian Times

The number of pensioners has exceeded the number of employees in Ukraine: 12 million as against 10 million in the first half of this year. By comparison, there were 13 million pensioners and 13.5 million employed workers in this country last year.

A pension fund’s budget deficit amounts to 81 billion grivnas today. One in five citizens of Ukraine seeks to emigrate and take up permanent residence abroad.

According to experts, this can be explained by the economic crisis, a civil war in the Donbas region with large Russian populations and lack of foreign investments. Investors are highly averse to the war and political uncertainty, and will keep away from the Ukraine’s neo-Nazi regime until the situation is improved.

Ramport near Moscow designed for low-cost air companies

A terminal will open at the airport Ramport in the suburb of Zhukovskoe near Moscow in March 2016. Also, plans are afoot to build a bus station and two parking places there. The airport is designed to handle about 12 million passengers a year, and low-cost air companies can be based in it.

Anti-NATO, anti-government actions rage in Montenegro

By Vladimir V. Sytin
The Ukrainian Times

A mass rally, organized by opposition parties, took place in the Montenegrin capital of Podgorica. Its participants demanded the resignation of the Cabinet, formation of a transitional government and early parliamentary elections.

Importantly, thousands of Montenegrins protested against the entry of their country into the aggressive and faulty NATO.

According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the foreign NATO legion made a criminal war against heroic defenders of the Donbas region. Together with Ukrainian neo-Nazi militants, the foreign legion acted in the interests of the hostile Western alliance. In fact, observers said mercenaries were captured in the east Ukraine with the thick London accent.

Analysts think it is understandable for Russia to want to save the southeast Ukraine, as a buffer against the next invasion from the West since 1941 (read: Nazi Germany). Meanwhile, despite the assurances given by George Bush I and other American presidents, Russia’s periphery states have been drawn towards the NATO. As Vladimir Putin once put it, Moscow has nonstandard solutions up her sleeve and no one will succeed in winning military superiority over Russia.

УКРАИНСКИЕ УЧЁНЫЕ РАСШИРЯЮТ МЕЖДУНАРОДНОЕ СОТРУДНИЧЕСТВО

Участие украинских учёных в международных программах и инициативах расширяется. По словам вице-президента Национальной академии наук Украины (НАНУ) Анатолия Загороднего, в последнее время укрепляются научные связи с Китаем, немало проектов реализовано в рамках Программы международного научного сотрудничества PICS, которую французский национальный центр CNRS предложил своим зарубежным партнёрам.

В июне было подписано Соглашение о создании ассоциированной международной лаборатории в области физики высоких энергий. Это новая форма совместных проектов между НАНУ и CNRS.

Сотрудничество между российскими и украинскими учёными, которые работают над ключевыми научными проблемами, всегда было разносторонним и будет продолжаться. Плодотворно развивается сотрудничество с Польской академией наук. Подтверждением этого является реализация 68 совместных проектов, а также открытие представительства польской академии в Киеве в конце прошлого года.

В октябре 2016 года Украина официально станет ассоциированным членом европейского исследовательского центра ЦЕРН, хотя сотрудничество с ним налажено уже давно, являясь одним из приоритетов международной деятельности НАНУ.

После ратификации соглашения в августе Украина приобрела статус ассоциированного участника программы ЕС «Горизонт-2020», и уже есть первые результаты – 56 проектов с участием украинских специалистов.

Ukrainian scientists extend multilateral contacts as cooperation with Russian researchers continues

By Svetlana Sytina
The Ukrainian Times

The participation of Ukrainian scientists in international programs and initiatives becomes more and more extensive. According to Anatoly Zagorodniy (pictured), vice-president of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU), scientific ties with China have been strengthening of late and many projects were implemented within the framework of the program for international scientific cooperation PICS, which the French center CNRS proposed to its foreign partners.

In addition, an agreement on the associated international laboratory in the field of high-energy physics was signed in June. The document envisages a new form of joint projects between the NASU and CNRS.

In October 2016 Ukraine will become the associate member of the European research center CERN, though cooperation with it has long been one of the priority lines of NASU activity.

It is important to note that cooperation of Russian and Ukrainian researchers, who tackle crucial problems, continues close and many-sided. The implementation of 68 joint projects and opening of the representative office of the Poland’s Academy of Sciences in Kiev at the end of last year testify to fruitful cooperation with Polish scientists.

After ratification of a relevant agreement in August Ukraine has achieved status of the associated party to Horizon 2020, the EU framework program for research and innovation. As a result, 56 projects are being carried out with the participation of Ukrainian scientists.

Five million tourists to visit Crimea by this year-end

According to forecasts by Russian government officials, about five million tourists will visit Crimea by this year-end. For the first time, the town of Saki whose nine sanitariums boast varieties of mud with healing properties has become travelers’ most popular destination during the off-season, followed by Greater Yalta. Data from the Federal Migration Service of Russia show that some 100,000 Ukrainians made trips to Crimea this year.

European countries overrun with refugees from Washington’s wars in Middle East, North Africa

By Vladimir V. Sytin
The Ukrainian Times

As a consequence of European Union’s subservience to the United States, European countries are being overrun by refugees from Washington’s wars that Europe so mindlessly enabled. Every day between 5,000 and 10,000 refugees from the Middle East and North Africa flock to Hungary.

Overall, 378,000 people at the least estimate have illegally migrated to Hungary since the start of this year. According to local volunteers, the American and British military unleashed a devastating war in Iraq, the Italian and French military conducted air bombardment in Libya and all of them trained extreme jihadist forces in Syria, whereas Hungary has to bear the burden of this chaos created by the United States and its European vassals.

Many observers think Europe will pay dearly for the war crimes of the American evil empire in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen. Islamic state may well spread its terrorist tentacles to Egypt, Turkey and Jordan.

Speaking at the 70th UN General Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out the slaughter, destruction and chaos that Washington has brought to the Middle East, North Africa and Ukraine, and the extreme jihadist and Ukrainian neo-Nazi forces that have been unleashed. He asked the American evil empire: “Do you realize what you have done?”

Meanwhile, the tragedy continues.

Swedish investors plan to build garbage disposal plant in Dnepropetrovsk

The company Ecoenergy Scandinavia of Sweden plans to build a garbage disposal plant in the city of Dnepropetrovsk. The initial phase of construction of the plant, capable of supplying a large residential district with thermal power and hot water, is estimated at about $120 million.

The new enterprise will have a capacity to generate 100 megawatts of electric power by recycling municipal solid wastes. Owing to operation of the garbage disposal plant saving of natural gas is expected to amount to some 100 million cubic meters per year in Dnepropetrovsk.

Incidentally, the news and investor relations agency Ukrainian Times is ready to help investors find promising partners in any industry in Ukraine. In particular, the country has viable investment projects in the sphere of high technologies, nanotechnologies and the pharmaceutical industry.

To give an order for a search for a partner, email ukrtimes@yandex.ru.

The agency has been established on the basis of the English-language business publication Ukrainian Times, which was founded by Vladimir V. Sytin and Svetlana Sytina in Kiev in 1993.

IMP researchers succeed in advanced developments designed for key industries

By Svetlana Sytina
The Ukrainian Times

Above all, metal physics forms the theoretical basis of materials science. In recent years, however, researchers of the G.V. Kurdyumov Institute of Metal Physics (IMP) under the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine have succeeded in developments designed for machine building, air-space equipment, microelectronics, power engineering and other industries.

One of such developments, the so-called amorphous nanocrystalline strip is the unique material whose structure bears similarity to windowpane. At the same time, this material is characterized by highly magnetic properties, mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion.

Roasted amorphous nanocrystalline material is effectively used for designing transformers, as well as manufacturing industrial and household heaters.
These apparatuses radiate heat relating to the comfortable infrared spectrum, which is similar to sunlight.

Other materials developed by scientists of the Institute include superconductors in which electric resistance disappears completely, thanks to a low temperature. These materials can be used for producing superconducting wire to transmit electric power without energy loss. In addition, superconductors have the unique capability to interact with a magnetic field in a particular way that opens up new vistas for transportation, for example, superconducting trains running on magnetic tracks.

Also, Ukrainian metal physicists consider the simple model of interaction of superconductors with magnets one of their achievements. The model is worthwhile for the space industry and can be used for creating the systems of contactless coupling of modules (antennas, research units, etc.) with an orbital station.

Currently, scientists of the Institute are conducting research on a magnetic memory for a form, to be precise, management of a change in the shape
of materials by means of magnetic fields and not a temperature. Given that new materials show better properties than the traditional ones, experts of the G.V. Kurdyumov Institute of Metal Physics consider this research too promising.

В ИНСТИТУТЕ МЕТАЛЛОФИЗИКИ ПОЛУЧЕНЫ ВЕСОМЫЕ РАЗРАБОТКИ ДЛЯ КЛЮЧЕВЫХ ОТРАСЛЕЙ ПРОМЫШЛЕННОСТИ

Металлофизика является, прежде всего, теоретической основой материаловедения. Однако за последние годы в Институте металлофизики имени Г.В. Курдюмова Национальной академии наук Украины получены весомые практические разработки для машиностроения, авиакосмической техники, микроэлектроники, энергетики и других отраслей.

Одна из таких разработок, так называемая аморфная нанокристаллическая лента, является уникальным материалом по своей структуре близким к обычному оконному стеклу. В тоже время этот материал характеризуется высокими магнитными свойствами, механической прочностью и стойкостью к коррозии.

Обожжённый аморфный нанокристаллический материал эффективно используется при конструировании трансформаторов, в производстве промышленных и бытовых
нагревателей. Излучаемое им тепло относится к комфортному инфракрасному диапазону подобному солнечному свету.

Другими материалами, разработанными учёными Института, являются сверхпроводники, в которых благодаря низкой температуре полностью исчезает электрическое сопротивление. Эти материалы можно применять в производстве сверхпроводниковой проволоки для передачи электрической энергии без потерь.

Уникальность сверхпроводников заключается ещё и в том, что они особым способом взаимодействуют с магнитным полем. А это, в свою очередь, открывает широкие возможности в транспортной сфере. Например, движение сверхпроводниковых поездов магнитными рельсами.

Кроме того, украинские учёные-металлофизики считают своим достижением простую модель взаимодействия сверхпроводников с магнитами. Она перспективна для использования в космической отрасли при создании систем бесконтактного соединения различных модулей – антенн, исследовательских блоков и т.п. – с орбитальной станцией.

В настоящее время учёные Института проводят исследования в области магнитной памяти формы, т.е. управления изменением формы в материалах
с помощью магнитных полей, а не температуры. Поскольку новые материалы демонстрируют лучшие свойства по сравнению с традиционными материалами,
специалисты Института металлофизики имени Г.В. Курдюмова считают эти исследования очень перспективными.

In Byelorussia, Lukashenko elected for the fifth presidential term

To no one’s great surprise, Alexander Lukashenko, who has been at Byelorussia’s helm since 1994, was reelected for the fifth five-year presidential term on October 11. He won the election with 83.49% of the vote. Data from the Byelorussian central election commission show that the election attracted 86.75% voter turnout.

80% of Ukrainians live below poverty level as Poroshenko boasts of improvement in their living conditions

By Vladimir V. Sytin
The Ukrainian Times

According to Vladimir Oleynik, former member of the Supreme Council of Ukraine, the rate of inflation accounts for 60% in this country today and 80% of Ukrainians live below the official poverty level. A pension amounts to about $50 a month.

The Ministry of Finance stated in April that population’s real incomes decreased by 10%. Recent opinion polls found that 30% of respondents want to emigrate from Ukraine.

Many observers think the world saw the difference between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Peotr Poroshenko, the so-called president of Ukraine, during the 70th UN General Assembly. Putin’s approach is truth-based, Poroshenko’s is lies and vain boasts of an improvement in the living conditions of Ukrainians.

As Mr. Oleynik notes, among the ill successes of the present neo-Nazi regime are the CIA-perpetrated fascist coup in Kiev and civil war in the Donbas region with large Russian populations. The war in Donbas costs Ukrainian taxpayers $5 million per day, and the ‘Euromaidan’ overthrow of democratically elected government provided the context for the reunification of Crimea with Russia.

Something about import from Poland, Baltic states into Russia smells fishy

Russian authorities have put an embargo on import of canned sprats from Poland because Polish producers violate provisions of Russian legislation on rights of consumers. In May Russia placed the embargo on import of fish and seafood from Latvia and Estonia after inspecting Baltic fish-processing plants.

Readers of The Ukrainian Times know that Moscow also put the embargo on re-export of agricultural produce from Bulgaria. The reason behind this decision was the forgery of phytosanitary documents.

According to the documents, producing countries were allegedly Brazil and Morocco. In actual fact, the consignment of goods was made in Poland.

90th anniversary of Palladin Institute marks history of rise and development of biochemical science in Ukraine

By Svetlana Sytina
The Ukrainian Times

This year the Palladin Institute of Biochemistry under the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) marks two significant events: the 130th anniversary of birth of Alexander V. Palladin, founder of the Institute and NASU member (pictured), and the 90th anniversary of the official establishment of the Institute.

Alexander Palladin had been at the head of the Institute for 45 years. The theoretical and practical results of Institute’s research at that time became the basis of the scientific trend, namely functional biochemistry and its integral part – neurochemistry. They brought international fame to the Ukrainian school of biochemistry and its founder Alexander Palladin.

At present, the Institute is directed by NASU member Sergey Komisarenko. Institute’s activity is aimed to study top-priority, fundamental problems of animal and human biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology and nanobiotechnology, as well as to create drug preparations, diagnosticums and bioactive substances, among others, for medical practice, agriculture and veterinary medicine.

Although it is hard to estimate an economic, social and scientific contribution made by researchers of the Institute to a national economy over the course of 90 years of its existence, Dr. Komisarenko considers it very weighty. In addition to the fundamental results of research that were published in hundreds of monographs and textbooks, scientific articles, encyclopedic and historical books of reference, workers of the Institute obtained more than 300 certificates of authorship and patents on their inventions. Among inventions introduced earlier, it is worth noting Vicasol used for accelerating wound healing and blood clotting, the antimicrobic drug Microcide, the anti-cancer agent Mebiphon, the antialcoholic drug Medichronal, sets of highly efficacious additives to fodder, and others.

Thanks to advanced methods of investigation, in recent years scientists of the Institute have made the unique collection of producers of monoclonal
antibodies which were the basis for creating test-systems to diagnose a threat of thrombosis and hemostasis on the whole, tuberculosis, diphtheria,
whooping cough and some other diseases. They found new evidence of the existence of non-coenzymic mechanisms of the participation of thiamine in activity
of nerve cells. This confirms the previously formed hypothesis in terms of the molecular mechanisms of the neurotropic effect of thiamine. Researchers of the Institute have obtained novel results whereby to develop high biotechnologies and nanobiotechnoligies, analytic biosensors, as well as to evolve methods of the chemical modification of naturally occurring bioactive substances.

Today fundamental research continues at 10 scientific departments and six laboratories of the Palladin Institute of Biochemistry and the workers’ collective does it possible to carry on investigations up to world standards, preserving traditions established by its founder and retaining universally recognized leadership in its sphere.

90-ЛЕТИЕ ИНСТИТУТА БИОХИМИИ ИМ. А.В. ПАЛЛАДИНА – ЭТО ИСТОРИЯ СТАНОВЛЕНИЯ И РАЗВИТИЯ БИОХИМИЧЕСКОЙ НАУКИ В УКРАИНЕ

В этом году Институт биохимии им. А. В. Палладина Национальной академии наук Украины отмечает две знаменательные даты: 130 лет со дня рождения основателя Института, академика Александра Палладина и 90 лет со дня официального открытия Института.

А. Палладин возглавлял Институт в течение  45 лет. Теоретические и практические результаты исследований Института того времени стали основой научного направления – функциональной биохимии и её неотъемлемой части – функциональной нейрохимии. Они принесли международную славу украинской биохимической школе и её основателю А. Палладину.

В настоящее время Институт возглавляет академик НАН Украины Сергей Комисаренко. Деятельность Института направлена на изучение наиболее приоритетных фундаментальных проблем биохимии животных и человека, молекулярной биологии, биотехнологии и нанобиотехнологии, а также на проведение работ с целью создания лекарственных препаратов, диагностикумов, биологически активных веществ и т.п. для медицинской практики, сельского хозяйства и ветеринарии.

Очень сложно оценить экономический, социальный и научный вклад ученых Института в народное хозяйство за 90 лет его существования, но Сергей Комисаренко считает, что он очень весомый. Кроме фундаментальных результатов исследований, опубликованных в сотнях монографий и учебников, научных статьях, энциклопедических и исторических справочниках, сотрудниками Института получено более 300 авторских свидетельств и патентов на изобретения. В частности, из ранее внедренных изобретений можно отметить средство для остановки кровотечения и ускорения заживления ран «Викасол», противомикробный препарат «Микроцид», противоопухолевый препарат «Мебифон», антиалкогольный препарат «Медихронал», наборы высокоэффективных добавок к кормам сельскохозяйственных животных и многое другое.

За последние годы в Институте благодаря современным методам исследования, в частности, создана уникальная коллекция продуцентов моноклональных антител, на основе которых созданы тест-системы для диагностики угрозы тромбообразования и гемостаза в целом, а также туберкулёза, дифтерии, диабета, коклюша и некоторых других заболеваний. Получены новые доказательства существования некоэнзимных механизмов участия тиамина в жизнедеятельности нервных клеток. Это подтверждает разработанную ранее гипотезу о молекулярных механизмах нейротропного действия тиамина. Получены принципиально новые результаты, на основе которых сегодня разрабатываются прогрессивные биотехнологии и нанобиотехнологии, аналитические приборы-биосенсоры, способы химической модификации биологически активных веществ природного происхождения.

И сегодня в 10 отделах и шести лабораториях Института биохимии им. А. В. Палладина продолжаются фундаментальные исследования, а его коллектив делает всё возможное, чтобы эта работа проводилась на современном мировом уровне, сохраняя традиции, заложенные его основателем, и оставаясь общепризнанным лидером в своей области.

Moscow requires Kiev to meet its commitment on Russian bond payment

By Vladimir V. Sytin
The Ukrainian Times

With the announcement that the so-called government of Ukraine had reached an agreement on restructuring 20% of its debt with a consortium of bond holders led by Franklin Templeton, there was much rejoicing in Kiev. After avoiding a default for a couple of years, Ukrainian neo-Nazi authorities think they are marvelous, like a drunk driver who did not get caught or kill anyone, whereas the international agency Fitch cut Ukraine’s long-term credit rating in foreign currency to C from CC, and Standard & Poor’s to SD (selective default) from CC.

In return for a four-year extension on payments of the remaining debt, Ukraine agreed to a higher coupon (interest rate) of 7.75%, up from 7.25%.

However, Russia does not accept a 20% write-down on $3 billion Eurobonds due on December 25. According to Russian finance minister Anton Siluanov, these funds are supposed to be invested in development of the infrastructure of Russia’s economy.

As critics have pointed out many times, lending money that does not exist to the U.S.-backed puppet regime, which is already deeply in debt, is not a good business model. It does not really stimulate the Ukrainian economy and it does not really make people better off. Finally, it is worth noting that the U.S. dollar has lost 95% to 98% of its purchasing power over the last 100 years.

Ukrainian scientist pinpoints worthwhile directions of development of military technologies

By Svetlana Sytina
The Ukrainian Times

Good news is that Ukraine has the scientific and technical potential that allows it to be one of the world’s top ten manufacturers of military equipment. This potential brings Ukraine $1 billion in annual public revenues.

However, this country has much greater capabilities in the above sphere, according to Vladimir Maslov, head of a department at the Institute of Semiconductor Physics. For instance, during this year’s exhibitions the Kiev-based enterprise Luch showcased its high-precision missiles that are better and cheaper than the latest NATO comparable models. And the Skif missile system rivals the touted U.S. Javelin and France’s Milan ER. Developing its military equipment, Ukraine may well join the ranks of the world’s top five manufacturers.

After analyzing materials published in open sources, Dr. Maslov pinpointed the most worthwhile directions of the development of modern military equipment and arms. Today it is necessary to elaborate new principles of the creation of defensive systems for armored vehicles, capable of protecting them from destruction by high-energy weapons, because an increase in the speed of missiles to a supersonic level makes protection of the vehicles by existent systems impracticable. There is a need to turn around active protection or apply new principles whereby to improve defensive systems.

Dr. Maslov thinks special attention should be also paid to an increase in the level of protection of electronic equipment from the influence of powerful electronic pulses, as well as to the shock resistance of optoelectronic observation systems. To this end, it is expedient to use the new methods of strengthening and joint of parts, which have been evolved at the Institute of Semiconductor Physics. In addition, the pressing directions of the development of military equipment include the miniaturization of devices, wide use of solid-state semiconductor sensors as well as new materials and nanotechnologies designed to disguise equipment in infrared radiation and radio waves.

ПЕРСПЕКТИВНЫЕ НАПРАВЛЕНИЯ РАЗВИТИЯ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ ВОЕННОГО НАЗНАЧЕНИЯ

Украина имеет научно-технический потенциал, который позволяет ей входить в десятку лучших производителей военной техники. Это даёт возможность ежегодно пополнять бюджет страны на один миллиард долларов США.

Однако потенциальные возможности Украины в этой сфере намного больше, считает доктор технических наук, профессор, заведующий отделом
в Институте физики полупроводников Владимир Маслов (на снимке). Например, киевское предприятие «Луч» представило на выставках текущего года свои высокоточные ракеты, которые лучше и дешевле современных натовских образцов. А ракетный комплекс «Скиф» является прямым конкурентом разрекламированному американскому Javelin и французскому Milan ER. Развивая свою военную технику, Украина может в ближайшее время войти в пятёрку её лучших производителей.

Проанализировав материалы, опубликованные в открытых источниках, В. Маслов выделил наиболее перспективные направления в развитии современной
военной техники и вооружения. Сегодня необходимо разработать новые принципы создания защитных систем для бронетанковой техники
от поражения высокоэнергетическим оружием, т.к. повышение скорости ракет и боеприпасов до сверхзвукового уровня делает невозможной защиту
техники известными системами. Необходимо улучшать активную защиту или создавать на новых принципах более совершенные её системы.

Особое внимание, по мнению Маслова, следует также уделить повышению уровня защиты электронной аппаратуры от влияния мощных электронных импульсов, а также ударопрочности оптоэлектронных систем наблюдения. Для этого можно использовать новые методы упрочнения и соединения точных деталей, разработанные в Институте физики полупроводников. Кроме того, актуальными направлениями являются миниатюризация приборов, широкое использование твёрдотельных полупроводниковых сенсоров, новых материалов и нанотехнологий для маскировки военной техники в инфракрасном излучении и радиодиапазонах.

Europe to pay dearly for war crimes of U.S. in Middle East, North Africa

By Vladimir V. Sytin
The Ukrainian Times

Every day 10,000 refugees from the Middle East and North Africa flock to Hungary. According to local volunteers, the American and British military
unleashed a devastating war in Iraq, the Italian and French military conducted air bombardment in Libya and all of them trained extreme jihadist forces in Syria, whereas Hungary has to bear the burden of this chaos created by the United States and its European vassals.

Many observers think Europe will pay dearly for the war crimes of the American evil empire in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen. Islamic state may well spread its terrorist tentacles to Egypt, Turkey and Jordan.

Speaking at the 70th UN General Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out the slaughter, destruction and chaos that Washington has brought to the Middle East, North Africa and Ukraine, and the extreme jihadist and Ukrainian neo-Nazi forces that have been unleashed. He asked the American evil empire: “Do you realize what you have done?”

Meanwhile, the tragedy continues.

Unemployment rate declines in Russia

According to official data, 4.69 million citizens of Russia were qualified as the unemployed in July. The number of the unemployed was 22,000 less than in June. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation forecast that the unemployment rate would account for 6%, or 4.4 million people, in the country this year.

Ukraine’s national debt reaches 70.3% of GDP

By Vladimir V. Sytin
The Ukrainian Times

To make up the balance of payments deficit for the period ending in 2018, Ukraine will need $40 billion worth of foreign loans.

Western financiers say its national debt has increased to 70.3% of GDP because of a capital outflow abroad. In addition, investors are highly averse to political uncertainty and will keep away from Ukraine until the situation improves.

According to forecasts by the World Bank, Ukraine’s GDP will fall by 12% this year.

As critics have pointed out many times, lending money that does not exist to the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, which is already deeply in debt, is not a good business model. It does not really stimulate the Ukrainian economy and it does not really make people better off. Note that the U.S. dollar has lost 95% to 98% of its purchasing power over the last 100 years.

It is a waste of time to try to analyze the financial policy of the U.S.-backed puppet government of Ukraine. You are likely to find an ice cube in the Sahara as any trace of validity or sense in this policy. Many analysts think the IMF-shock therapy mafia is virtually destroying this country.

Today Ukrainian taxpayers are stuck with massive foreign loans that will take generations to pay off. Robbing Peter to pay Paul is morally wrong. Especially when Peter is a hard-working taxpayer.
