“Battleship in the dark”. Ukraine for a week

"Броненосец в потёмках". Украина за неделю

The Head Of “Naftogaz” Of Ukraine Andriy KOBOLEV. Illustration:I Think August is a “dead” month part of the news? So you’ve never been in Ukraine! Here the information space is seething even in the heat of summer, when all of the Verkhovna Rada in full force departed for the holidays!

This song is good — start all over again

Vacation holidays, and hunger strike on schedule. Apparently, this is one of the basic principles of Hope Savchenko, which is August 2, tightly refreshed, went on hunger strike again. Ukrainians have already hysterical: Sho? Again?!

His solution to this companion (and, apparently, a headache), Yulia Tymoshenko explained by the fact that Kiev does not engage the release of prisoners of war. “In captivity do not sit children Peter. And your children do not care about him,” said Savchenko, completely forgetting whose plane was flying behind her in Rostov.

Meanwhile, chief confectioner of Ukraine and concurrently Supreme commander can understand. He is clearly not up to the prisoners of war of other problems above the roof. Take for example, at least the events of a month ago, when the Metropolitan housing and communal services has had the courage to demolish a stall, Chocolate (Oh, the horror!) near the metro station “Svyatoshyn.” And now Roshen is going to sue the Kiev authorities — a pier, you to whom all loaf crumble?!

Or here’s another important point: on August 3, the President went immediately in the case of Malaysia and Indonesia. The Ukrainians were a bit modulelist: what is there to do for a week? But soon the situation became clear. It turns out that these countries are among the largest producers of cocoa beans in the world. In General, things chocolate…

While Petro Poroshenko is addressing their major (i.e. candy) questions away, Savchenko made another loud statement, calling the ATO mess that you need to finish as quickly as possible. In her opinion, the fact of the war in the East had to admit that even 2 years ago. But the Ukrainian government did not, as in this case would not have had the opportunity to plunder the IMF loans. Because the Foundation does not give money to countries imposed martial law.

No money

Meanwhile, the IMF does not give Ukraine money for a year — the last tranche of the country received 4 August 2015. According to the Executive Director of the International Bleyzer Foundation Oleg Ustenko, the main problems in the cooperation with the IMF, which diplomatically prefers to call “technical” to include an extensive list — from the slow pace of reforms before next year’s budget. To do so, as did in the past, the government of Tymoshenko, and later Mykola Azarov is to refuse “cooperation” with the IMF and try to borrow on international markets — will not work, because they are closed for Ukraine for a few years. No IMF — no other international credit programs.

“As a result, even the most desperate investors, which small portions are still willing to invest in risky Ukrainian economy, already announcing their plans “to wait,” — says Ustenko. — The global commodity markets do not fall, but also not alive, then there is a breakthrough in the Ukrainian low-tech commodity exports will not be an additional currency in the country does not go down. I think even politicians see the connection between stopping cooperation with the IMF, devaluation pressure on the hryvnia, the deterioration of the economic situation and, as a consequence, problems in the socio-political situation”.

The paradoxes of growth

With the socio-political situation in the country is a big problem here for 2 years. And Minister of social policy Andrei Reva literally broke my head, wondering how to improve the lives of ordinary Ukrainians. Thought and thought, and came up with! And made sensible, verging on genius, thought: to in the country increased pension, it is necessary that increased wages. However, what you need to do in order to increased wages, while Reva considerations no. Will think further.

To help the social Minister unexpectedly volunteered statistics, according to which wages in the country are steadily growing. Only in June average wages in Ukraine grew by 353 hryvnia! This fun boasted Vladimir Groisman, but somehow boring silent about the causes of this “growth”. Meanwhile, they on the one hand simple, and with another — paradoxical. First, is the dismissal of employees while maintaining payroll. If the same money divided by fewer staff, work pay more (apparently, with a corresponding increase in load). Secondly, the holiday season, and “growing” salary is actually salary plus vacation pay. And finally, the third factor is the uncontrolled growth of salaries of senior officials.

In General, it is not surprising that the majority of Ukrainians, the growth of wages did not notice. Moreover, according to the same official statistics, the Ukrainians in the last 2 years began to eat less. Apparently, counting cash in wallets, many have decided that this is the most effective and affordable way to save.

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Pavlo Rozenko, repeatedly advised the Ukrainians, more and better to economize, moved to a car three times more expensive than the previous one. “I have 3 months to go “Mercedes”. As he went to work in the Cabinet — and got it in use. The model did not choose what was given to fleet, travel” — that is boasted, or complained Rozenko at the lack of choice, and indeed in challenging the Deputy Prime Minister everyday.

Battleship in the dark

But subsequent events showed that the situation in Belarus in General nothing to complain about — compared to, for example, with the head of “Naftogaz” Andrey KOBOLEV. This sufferer and had to look at all the armored car from behind allegedly expected assassination attempts on him by… “Gazprom”.
In social networks Korolevu immediately offered not limited to armored cars and to provide themselves armored aircraft, armored office, the armored cubicle in the toilet, armored road home from the office and to the airport. And another set of armored panties and condoms, because “the enemy is very devious!

And the journalist Alexander Dubinsky and does believe: Korolevu need an armored car to protect it not from the Russians but from his own fellow citizens, who with his light hand began to pay for energy 7 times more. He offered to call the head of “Naftogaz” “battleship in the dark”.

“In addition to the armored Mercedes of KOBOLEV “Naftogaz” also will be guarded by heavily armed thugs from the police, wrote on his page on Facebook energy expert Dmitry marunich. — With four pistols and a gun. As we remember, it’s all done for the sake of victory of Ukraine in the Stockholm arbitration. And we know that the cost with you (Yes, that’s right, because “Naftogaz” for all time of its existence, but papers signed by KOBOLEV and Co, nothing was produced or sold) to 300 000 UAH in six months. That’s the reform of the gas market is”.

While COBOL is engaged in the search for a suitable reservation, the Minister of energy and coal industry Igor Nasalik gave another brilliant project! He invented the transit of Iranian oil in the Czech Republic and Slovakia through Ukraine. However, how to deliver Iranian oil to our country, Nasalik not yet specified — apparently, she went to explore the globe of Ukraine.

Gift yourself with “100 days”

Some short-sighted Ukrainians considered the re-arrest of Alexander Efremov’s “the crisis of the genre, but the Prosecutor General Yuri Lutsenko is not so simple. Apparently, he’s just ahead of time preparing a beachhead for the big press conference, which will take place next week. There is little doubt: the report on the results of the first 100 days as attorney General one of the main merits will be called the detention of the former head of “Party of Regions”.

The GPU has complained that handcuffed to Ephraim and put him behind bars, it was not so easy. Into the hands of the regions played a lot of factors: solid accounts in foreign banks (neither more nor less — 33 million Swiss francs), eminent lawyers, and even cunning law enforcement who leaked policy information about the investigation, and signaled when to leave the country.

By the way, explaining why Ephraim was arrested July 30 on Board the flight Kiev-Vienna, Lutsenko said that he had received information about his possible escape. Although the detainee says: if I wanted to escape, have long ago left Ukraine.

“The investigation there is no fact that I broke the law, — said Efremov. Not because they didn’t get, and because they do not exist in nature. Against me raised such a wave in the press, only what I’ve done — except only that I babies not eating… I am not naïve, and knew that my phones are tapped. But I have nothing to fear!”

The great scientific courage, a statement was made by the Secretary of national security and defense Oleksandr Turchynov. According to him, Ukrainians are no longer afraid of the police! And it was that?!? True, Ukrainians themselves nothing positive in this “news” is not seen and said that criminals have no fear of the police! The crime rate in the country — theft, robbery, theft, murder — is growing, and the detection rate falls. After the “reform” of new police officers just busy getting into accidents and selfies with passers-by, and the crimes, no one to uncover! But the current Ukrainian government is very talented — she is able to find a reason to be proud in everything!
