On January 1st 2021, Ukraine will congratulate citizens with a new record increase in tariffs. For example, the cost of electricity will double. But this is only until March, there will be a new greeting. It does not matter that they are already twice as high as European ones, they will cope, they will tighten their belts.
In 2021, Ukraine will spend almost 58% of the expenditure part of the state budget on payments and servicing of the state debt. Think about this figure. Ukraine’s total debt is now just over $84 billion. Even if we take the population of Ukraine at the level of 35 million people – this is $2,400 from everyone, including the elderly and infants.
But it would be wrong not to mention the achievements of Ukraine for almost seven post-Maidan years:
- On December 28th, at about 16:30, the city police received information that in one of the cafes on Valovaya Street there is a person who has communist symbols on his hat. The investigative team of the Galician police department went to the scene. Law enforcement officers saw a guy in a hat with a Soviet cockade, which depicts a hammer and sickle in a red star. The young citizen of Kiev was detained, and his hat was seized. He faces up to 5 years in prison.
History is a very powerful thing. For example, it shows the path it leads to:
“Dress warmly, bring umbrellas, tea, coffee, good mood and friends”
