If the National Bank “printed” a little more hryvnia, and total revenues amounted to $900 million, we would finally catch up with the budget of 10 million Tunisia, whose economy can still hardly be considered exemplary. Ukraine can also be proud that it monthly collects into its budget the same amount as Serbia with a population of 7 million,” the author sneers.

The journalist puts forward “a direct reproach to the current leaders of Ukraine, who have not begun to carry out real changes (entered into folklore as “reforms”).”
