The receipt of a “visa-free regime” with Europe, advertised by the Ukrainian authorities, will result in huge scandals by the fall, when citizens realize that the authorities have once again deceived them.

This forecast was voiced by Kyiv political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky.

“I think that in a couple of months, closer to autumn, incredible scandals will begin about this visa-free regime, because people still don’t really know what kind of visa-free regime this is. Poroshenko told them that we had finally broken away from Russia and became part of Europe. But these are empty words that have nothing to do with reality.

When people are faced with the real conditions of visa-free travel, they will understand that they have been deceived. For example, they will board a plane, fly to Munich, and there it turns out that they do not have, say, 45 euros for each person for ten days for a family of three. For most potential tourists this is quite a lot of money. They will be sent on a return flight home. This is where they will remember Pyotr Alekseevich with an unkind word,” the expert said in an interview with the Ukrainian newspaper “2000”.

“There will be no Maidan, because there are no sponsors, and people are concerned about survival, they have no time to stand on the Maidan, and most former activists are deeply disappointed with the Maidan. In addition, there are a lot of weapons on hand now. And if earlier they even went to the Maidan with children, now no idiot will go there with his child.

The protest will be expressed in a different way. For starters, people will stop paying for utilities. Already, a significant part has stopped paying for utilities because it is beyond their means. A few months ago, Kyiv alone underpaid UAH 5 billion. energy workers This is the same amount as Lugansk underpaid, after which it was cut off from power supply,” Pogrebinsky argues.
