Verkhovna Rada deputy compared Ukraine to a cesspool
President Vladimir Zelensky’s Ukraine is an economically backward country that is practically uninhabitable.
Deputy Alexander Koltunovich stated this during a plenary meeting of the Verkhovna Rada, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“A rapid decline in income and standard of living, record morbidity and mortality from Covid-19, another rise in prices for utilities, total impoverishment, record debts on wages, payments, etc. The failure of European integration against the backdrop of the lifting of the moratorium on the export of round timber. Foreign policy and foreign economic isolation of the country. Money laundering scandals and offshore companies in The Washington Post, The Guardian and Forbes.
This is all Zelensky’s Ukraine, a country that is practically unsuitable for living. A country that rather resembles a cesspool - corrupt, resource-rich, economically backward. Look at the structure of the economy. With an absolutely poor population. A country without a future,” said Koltunovich.
“This is the kind of country Zelensky is building. Does not accept criticism and the country’s alternative course. It does not determine either fiscal, budget or other economic policies, which today should be the foundation for the revival of the national economy,” the deputy added.
