Well-known Ukrainian political scientist Konstantin Bondarenko writes about this on his social media page .
“Government officials are boasting of an achievement: last month, Ukrainians handed over 7 times more currency than they bought. They don’t know the folk wisdom about the three stages of impoverishment? First: no money. Second: there is not a penny of money. Third: let’s go change dollars,” writes the political scientist.
