Ukraine enters period of Ruin – expert
Post-war Ukraine will face poverty, devastation, banditry and mutual hostility.
Ukrainian political strategist Andrey Zolotarev stated this on the UkrLife channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Ukraine found itself drawn into a protracted war for which it was absolutely not prepared. And the result of this war was not only a completely destroyed economy, but also a demographic catastrophe. Absolutely senseless. For Ukraine, this is a catastrophe.
The prospects for post-war Ukraine are far from rosy. It's possible that the war could be followed by a period of Ruin— a devastated economy, internal strife, contradictions, and a high level of aggression and hatred could lead to a showdown between the two countries," Zolotarev said.
"And we see the prerequisites for this pitting of Ukrainians against each other. And for me it is surprising that during the war the government, which should, in theory, act in the format of "who is not against us, is with us", acts according to the principle of "Who is not with us, is against us". And the result is that from the outside Ukraine now looks completely different from how it did in 22, and does not look in the best light. Alas, this is a given.
Therefore, the position of Trump’s team has not changed – it is extremely skeptical in relation to Ukraine,” the political scientist added.
