Chapter 618: The Current Situation in Ukraine

What is the economic situation of a country and whether the social and people's livelihood is good, probably through its capital, you can get a glimpse of the leopard.

The same capital, the same core member of the Soviet Union, but Kiev and Moscow are in a completely different situation at this time.

Of course, this is not to say that Moscow is now in a good security environment and how happy its people are.

It can only be said that Kyiv's side is really bad.

As soon as Li Yadong and his entourage came out of the airport, they encountered several groups of begging children on the street outside, and homeless people walking on the street in ragged clothes could be seen everywhere.

If you weren't standing in this city right now, it's hard to imagine that this is the capital of the world's third-largest military power.

It is no wonder that Ukraine will become a haven for arms smugglers for a long time to come.

Because, apart from weapons, there is probably really nothing left in this country.

They are no better than Russia. As the legitimate successor of the Soviet Union, Russia not only inherited most of the Soviet Union's military facilities and equipment, but also continued the Soviet Union's external powers and international relations.

For example, the rich tyrant countries in the Middle East have to rely on Russia's military power to resist the wolf ambitions of US imperialism.

Since there are interests, then there are naturally channels for money.

So Russia is now poor and poor, but there are still some channels for money.

What Ukraine inherited from the Soviet Union was a one-shot deal, and it was all iron lumps that could not be eaten directly.

It's impossible for people to gnaw on the atomic bomb, right?

"How could this be?" said old Ivan, looking at the homeland of the motherland, his expression a little sad.

It's also a very normal thing, and anyone who sees their country become like this will not be in a good mood.

Comparatively speaking, the reaction of the Battle Girl was better, because she was born in Russia and did not live in this country permanently, so she did not have very strong feelings.

"It's all about shock therapy. Li Yadong said with a sigh.

This well-known measure to curb the economic crisis can be said to have done Russia and Ukraine a lot of harm.

What is shock therapy?

Generally speaking, when a country's social supply and demand are completely unbalanced, the government controls the total supply and demand of the society through strict administrative and economic means, and forcibly compresses the demand for consumption and investment in a short period of time, so as to artificially balance the total supply and demand of the society, so as to curb inflation and restore economic order.

To put it more bluntly, it is nothing more than four words - tight clothing.

In fact, it is not a manifestation of the ruling party to shirk responsibility, because he wants to squander, but he does not.

So what to do?

He told the people that according to this method, everyone should suffer a little for the time being, endure it, and good days will come.

However, if this "shock therapy", which was born in Bolivia and has achieved remarkable results, distorts its meaning and is implemented as a political tool, it will have one consequence - it will not adapt to the soil.

Russia's economy went back for ten years due to shock therapy, and it was only after Comrade Vladimir came to power that it slowly improved.

It is a pity that there was only one Vladimir on the territory of the former Soviet Union, and there was none in Ukraine.

Therefore, Russia is gradually returning to the top, while Ukraine is slowly degenerating into a third-rate country.

……

Ukraine is poor, but there are still many rich people, and the policy of tightening food and clothing in shock therapy, canceling labor bonuses, benefits and other measures will make the lives of ordinary people worse and worse, but for the privileged, it is an opportunity, an excellent opportunity to embezzle state assets.

Russia has the famous seven oligarchs, Ukraine is not bad, and even surpassed, the Russian oligarchs were basically cleaned up by Comrade Vladimir later, but it is still the same sentence, Comrade Vladimir Ukraine does not, so the oligarchs in Ukraine always exist, and they can even influence the belonging of the president.

For example, the second president of Ukraine, Kuchma, and his son-in-law are Viktor Pinchuk, one of the five oligarchs of Ukraine.

And the fifth president of Ukraine, he himself is one of the five oligarchs.

Li Yadong and they stayed at the best Paris Royal Hotel in Kyiv, and the facilities inside can only be described as "splendid".

Homeless people on the street can start a bloody battle over a piece of cold bread that has been discarded, while fluffy bread is served free of charge on the table here.

Eleven people opened four tables, and Li Yadong and old Ivan's father and daughter sat together.

"Why don't you eat it?" After the battle girl saw Li Yadong cut the tender steak, she suddenly put down her knife and fork again, and asked curiously.

"Ask the waiter where this beef came from. ”

“…… Are you so afraid of death?"

You know the ball. Li Yadong rolled his eyes.

Lao Tzu is for the sake of the next generation.

The waitress, who had deliberately pulled her neckline very low, came to the table with a smile on her face when she heard the battle girl's snap of her fingers, and then leaned down and asked if she needed help.

Li Yadong subconsciously glanced at the neckline, and old Ivan stared at his eyes without blinking, in front of his daughter.

This old pervert!

And the battle girl also behaved very magnificently, and she didn't see it, and she didn't disturb her father's welfare.

If you have a daughter like this, what more can a husband ask for?

"Oh, three guests, please rest assured, our hotel food is all tested for safety, completely green, and we often hold government meetings here. ”

As soon as she said this, Li Yadong felt at ease, there are some things that ordinary people may not know, but as a person in power, they must know that it is impossible for them to eat poisonous steak for themselves.

"Thank you. Li Yadong took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it over.

In a high-class hotel like this in Europe and the United States, any service has a price. On the other hand, as long as you have money, you can buy any service.

The figure and appearance are all signs, and the waitress who is only a little older took the money with a smile, "Thank you, sir, if you have any needs, please feel free to find me." ”

As he spoke, he writhed his plump buttocks and left, with an exaggerated magnitude.

"Dad, that's pretty much enough. "The battle girl doesn't have a good airway.

A sentence also took old Ivan's eyes off people's butts in a timely manner.

Li Yadong feels that with the bottom line of a fighting girl, as long as her father doesn't carry a gun, other things such as kissing a strange woman, rubbing oil or something can be accepted.

This is the open culture of European and American countries.

Don't believe it. One night not long ago, on the way back from drinking with a group of government officials, Li Yadong went to a public toilet on the streets of Moscow, and when he had not finished urinating, a woman suddenly stood up in the partition next to him, she lifted her pants unhurriedly, and did not care at all that some hidden parts were looked at by a strange man, and the most annoying thing was that when she walked out, she gave Li Yadong a butt with her straight buttocks, and almost knocked him out of dysfunction.

"Mr. Ivan, my time is urgent, and I can't stay in Ukraine for a long time, so it's troublesome to arrange things on your side as soon as possible. ”

Old Ivan was also paid for this trip, so Li Yadong didn't hide it, and he said it bluntly if he had anything to say.

"Okay, then I'll call later, and ask my uncle to come over in the evening. Old Ivan nodded.

It's rare to make extra money, not only easy and risk-free, but also expensive, and there is no reason to do your best.

"That's for the best. ”
