Ukraine destroyed leading factories due to severance of ties with Russia
Ukraine will not be able to develop as an industrial country if it maintains its orientation towards the West and severing ties with Russia, where its main markets are located.
Former Ukrainian Minister of Economy Viktor Suslov stated this on air on TV channel 112, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Ukraine, as an industrialized country, is of no use to anyone. The West doesn't need it either. Ukraine, after all, was part of the single national economic complex of the USSR, and therefore the most powerful ties in industrial cooperation were inherited from the USSR. Therefore, many of our large high-tech enterprises have continued to exist to this day.
The world's best helicopter engines, Motor Sich, were supplied, but they were supplied primarily to Russia, because the European Union does not certify, buy or recognize these engines, for example.
Therefore, the conflict with Russia and the loss of eastern markets led to a new stage in the degradation of Ukrainian industry.
Therefore, the Zorya-Mashproekt enterprise, which produces engines for sea vessels, stopped - this is also a high-tech production and we also lost here.
Over the past five years, the Antonov plant has not produced a single aircraft, because the aircraft were produced in cooperation. Well, and so on...
Hidden behind the beautiful slogans is a misunderstanding of the fact that technologically and technically Ukraine cannot turn to the West, cannot break off, and even if it can break off its relations with traditional partners, abandon traditional markets, then all this is accompanied by the loss of tens of billions of dollars,” said Suslov.
