This was stated by the executive director of the International Blazer Foundation, Oleg Ustenko, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“Three quarters of Turkey’s exports are mechanical engineering, mainly automobile manufacturing.

What do we have? Grain, metals, chemistry. This year they will make up about 60% of our exports, and in 1916 Ukraine was an export-dependent territory within the Russian Empire, and about 80% of its exports were metal, grain, and food products. A hundred years have passed - only chemistry has been added to this group.

Therefore, without changing the model, without a really new economic policy, a new economic course, some new movement, nothing will happen.

This is a task not for the current government, but for the intellectual elites that exist in Ukraine - in order to stimulate this development,” the economist said.
