Unfortunately, Ukraine sold only 900 tons of pork abroad in the first quarter that is 4.5 times less than in the same period last year. A cut in the export of pork from this country can be explained by the fact that Russia imposed an embargo at the end of 2015.
After the loss of the Russian market, Armenia and Hong Kong have become big importers of Ukrainian pork. The share of Armenia and Hong Kong in the import of pork from Ukraine accounts for 55.3% and 25% of total volume respectively. However, this cannot compensate Ukrainian producers for the loss of the Russian market.

Economic recession forecast to be 0.3% in Ukraine in H1
Industrial output and agriculture fell by 1.7% and 2.5% respectively in Ukraine in January. In addition, a bad slump in export transactions accounted for the whopping 29.3% that can be explained by the loss of the Russian market.
According to forecasts by Andrei Shevchishin of the Forex Club in Ukraine, an economic recession will make up some 0.3% in this country in the first half-year (H1). As Yuri Boiko, leader of the Opposition Bloc, once put it, the American puppet government continues to struggle against the real sector of the economy, destroying the economic potential of Ukraine.

УКРАИНСКИЕ ПРЕДПРИНИМАТЕЛИ ВПЕРВЫЕ ОБЪЕДИНИЛИСЬ В НЕЗАВИСИМЫЙ СОЮЗ
СУП - это первое объединение украинских предпринимателей, которое создано за пределами политических, отраслевых и территориальных интересов с целью формирования благоприятной бизнес-среды, защиты интересов и популяризации инноваций среди представителей малого, среднего и крупного бизнеса. Именно малый и средний бизнес имеет потенциал стать мощным двигателем для развития экономики Украины, таким, какой он есть во всех развитых странах.
Союз действует вне политики и не отстаивает интересы олигархов. СУП стремится объединить более 100 тысяч украинских предпринимателей до 2020 года.
По итогам деятельности в прошлом году 18 компаний, которые представлены членами Совета директоров СУП, уплатили в государственный бюджет Украины более 2,2 миллиарда гривен налогов, создали более 90 тыс. рабочих мест и экспортировали украинских товаров и услуг на сумму более 15 млрд. грн. в 200 стран мира.
Среди членов Совета директоров СУП: Вячеслав Климов, соучредитель и совладелец компании «Новая почта» (президент Союза), Александр Почкун, основатель и управляющий партнёр Baker Tilly Ukraine, Мария Барабаш, основатель и владелец компании A7 GROUP.
«Для основателей СУП, которые создали и развивают бизнес в Украине, важно сделать личный вклад в успешное будущее этой страны. Мы объединились с общей целью - защищать интересы малого, среднего и крупного отечественного бизнеса, формировать благоприятный бизнес-климат, способствовать росту украинского экспорта в мире. Вместе мы сможем вести диалог с властью и направлять энергию предпринимателей на развитие экономики Украины», - подчеркнул Вячеслав Климов.
Мария Барабаш отметила: «Главная задача СУП - стать самым мощным голосом украинского бизнеса. Мы стремимся, чтобы предпринимателей на Украине стало больше, и мы предпочитаем изменить образ предпринимательства в обществе».
По словам владельца компании UBC Group Игоря Гуменного: «Бизнес - как вирус гриппа: он развивается там, где для него создана благоприятная среда. Пора украинским предпринимателям приложить усилия и создать эти условия. СУП будет заниматься лоббированием интересов украинского бизнеса».

Russia develops defense infrastructure of Kuril Islands
This year Russia will deploy Bal and Bastion antiship missile complexes on the Kuril Islands within the framework of planned rearmament. For instance, Bastion is outfitted with Yakhont missiles, capable of hitting targets at a distance of 300 kilometers. In addition, the defense infrastructure of the Kuril Islands will be fortified with the new generation drones Eleron-3.
According to Viktor Ozerov, chairman of a committee on defense and security under the Russian Federation Council, the number of warships of the Russia’s Pacific Navy will depend on the quality of relations with Japan and other countries in the Asian-Pacific region.
It should be mentioned that Japan is still in a de jure state of war with Russia because of the Kurils problem.
Readers of The Ukrainian Times know that the Southern Kurils are the integral part of Russia’s territory on a legal basis in accordance with the results of World War II. Japan, which was the ally of Nazi Germany during WWII, shall strictly respect relevant accords and the U.N. Charter. Like Germany, Japan must bear responsibility for war crimes not only towards Russia but also all former Soviet republics and the anti-Hitlerite coalition.
Finally, it is worth remembering that the Kurils were originally settled by the Russians in the 17th-18th centuries. Japan seized the southern islands and in 1875 obtained the entire chain. After WWII they were legally ceded to the Soviet Union, and the Japanese population was repatriated.
And so, did Japan not learn any lessons from its criminal alliance with Nazi Germany?

Greece returns hundreds of refugees to Turkey but…
Recently, Greece has returned hundreds of refugees from the islands Lesbos and Chios to Turkey in accordance with an agreement between Ankara and the European Union. However, there are more than 50,000 refugees from Washington’s wars in Greece today.
Funnily enough, EU authorities flew only 43 citizens of Syria to Germany, whereas Greece has to bear the heaviest burden of this chaos created by the United States and its European vassals. Athens requires 480 million euros to overcome the crisis.
According to politologist Paul Craig Roberts, the American state murderous rampage through the Middle East and North Africa was enabled by the Europeans who provided diplomatic and military cover for Washington’s war crimes. At present, the Europeans are suffering the consequences as they are overrun by refugees. The German women who were raped by the refugees can blame their chancellor, a Washington puppet, for enabling the carnage from which refugees flee to Europe.
