Viktor Medvedchuk, deputy of the Opposition Platform - For Life faction in the Verkhovna Rada, wrote on Telegram that Ukraine's Western partners "earned billions" on tensions around the country.
“Western partners (Ukraine) have earned billions on military hysteria. The United States, Britain and other countries that helped Ukraine resist the "imminent occupation" under the guise of military hysteria not only solved their internal problems, but also made good money. They sold unnecessary military rubbish, sold diesel locomotives at an inflated price, signed trade contracts that were profitable for themselves, ”the publication says.
According to the deputy, the Ukrainian economy has already lost about 12 billion. He notes the financial support of the West - “about € 4 billion in total”, but emphasizes that “these are not charitable Christmas gifts.”
Medvedchuk fears that "thrown into a debt hole of unprecedented depth" Ukraine will soon be forced to seek help from the IMF, which will increase its dependence on borrowed funds
Earlier, the head of the World Bank, David Malpass, said at a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the issue of allocating $350 million to Kiev would be considered in the near future.
