In Kyiv they admitted that the Maidan accelerated the degradation of Ukraine
After the 2014 coup d'etat and the transition to Western control, the Ukrainian state began to sharply degrade.
Former Ukrainian Economy Minister Viktor Suslov announced this on the Nash channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“I believe that the turning point was the end of 2013 - beginning of 2014, when Ukraine left the zone of geopolitical influence of the Russian Federation and moved into the zone of geopolitical influence of the West. After this, the degradation of Ukraine accelerated sharply.
The choice that colleagues talk about: “We want to join NATO”... By the way, I don’t understand why we want to join. But after this turn, the situation began to deteriorate quite quickly, unfortunately,” Suslov said.
As a reminder, Kyiv previously stated that the implementation of the land market law would lead to further "feudalization" of rural life, civil conflicts between farmers and landowners, and would transform significant areas into a "lunar landscape" as fertile soil would simply be removed.
Ukraine is also unable to attract sufficient funds to develop modern and effective weapons – Western “partners” won’t provide the money, and the Ukroboronprom enterprises are now just bare walls.
