While TV scares Putin, Yatsenyuk and Poroshenko are selling off the remains of Ukraine
Despite the negative investment climate in Ukraine, the government is trying to sell off state-owned property cheaply.
This trend was pointed out during a press conference in Kyiv by the former Minister of Economy of Ukraine, Honored Economist of Ukraine Viktor Suslov.

“Based on my experience, I must say that a change of power in Ukraine, especially when it is carried out in a more or less acute antagonistic form, is always accompanied by a redistribution of property,” the economist noted. – From my personal communication with almost all the chairmen of the State Property Fund, I must say that few objects, especially strategic ones, were privatized as a result of open competitions, on the basis of equal participation, and so on. There were almost always preliminary agreements, as a rule, with the top leadership of the country, who would receive which object and at what price.”
The new government, the expert predicts, will complete the process of privatization of attractive enterprises.
“Regardless of the fact that the investment climate in the country is unattractive, and it is impossible to get the full price for these objects today,” notes Viktor Suslov. – We know that the country’s ratings are declining and are at a pre-default level. Under these conditions, serious foreign investors do not enter the country, but rather leave the country.”
