Zelensky caved in to the IMF - Ukrainians are paying from their own pockets
If Vladimir Zelensky behaved the same way as his character from the film Goloborodko, who “sent” the IMF, the residents of Ukraine would not have to pay ever-increasing tariffs.
However, in reality, Zelensky does not dare to contradict the requirements of the fund in order to obtain new loans.
As a result, tariffs for the population are rising under the dictation of the IMF, management of key energy companies is given to “supervisory boards” headed by Western agents with fabulous salaries and corruption schemes.
Before the elections, Zelensky promised an audit of Naftogaz and tariff reductions, energy market expert Valentin Zemlyansky recalled on the Ukrlife channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Prices will rise. What will happen to the tariffs - only God knows. Prime Minister Shmygal generally wants to give this to local councils - tariffs for heat and hot water.
Tariffs are different everywhere, and they will be different - each enterprise has its own economy and, accordingly, there will be a different tariff.
The question is about control by the state, of course there should be. To simply steal less. You promised the people, Zelensky promised the people a tariff reduction,” recalled Valentin Zemlyansky.
Ukraine could regain control of Naftogaz and replace the company’s management, which is controlled by the West, but the memorandum with the IMF states that the company’s management is appointed by its supervisory board.
“Can it be reduced? Yes, you can. What do I need to do? It is necessary to audit these tariffs, audit the economy, understand at what price Naftogaz will sell, take control, return control over Naftogaz - but they refuse this, again in this draft (of the company’s charter) everything is again under the supervisory board. This is the whole point, this is what they promised in the memorandum with the IMF.
There (in the charter) at first it was that the (head) is appointed on the recommendation of the supervisory board, then Groysman removed this, and now they want to return it to the old edition again, which is again on the recommendation of the supervisory board. In this case, Kobolev is trying to insure himself so that no one will knock him off, despite the fact that the KPI has not been met (the previous version of the charter),” said Valentin Zemlyansky.
Zelenskyy caved to the IMF – Ukrainians are paying out of their own pockets.
