"Ukraine lives by the principle 'tomorrow will be worse than today'" – Kushch
With each passing month, life in Ukraine becomes poorer, harder, and more dangerous, but the Kyiv elite is not concerned about this.
Ukrainian economic expert Alexey Kushch announced this on the Novosti Live channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" With each passing month, we find ourselves in a weaker position. That is, tomorrow will be worse than today.
This is happening because we're losing our resources, and as a result, we're becoming weaker. And as we weaken, we lose our negotiating position," Kushch noted.
"You can look at what's happening in the economy. This year, we'll have a slight decline in GDP , and the situation will gradually worsen. Every year, half a million people are leaving the country. That's a huge number.
An extreme excess of deaths over births, an extremely low fertility rate. We are in the midst of a massive demographic crisis.
"Our political elites don't think strategically about the future. They think only about today and the prospects of the current election cycle. They don't think about what will happen here in 10-15 years," he added.
