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

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.
