The authorities of the Square have admitted to the bankruptcy of the country. They declared their inability to service foreign debt and are ready to fight in courts to stop paying international creditors. The leadership of Ukraine is outraged that financial donors actually bought the state on the vine. Russian experts say officials behave like petty criminals. Ruslan Bortnik, director of the Ukrainian Institute for Policy Analysis and Management, accused the International Monetary Fund and other foreign institutions of imposing excessive loans on Kiev, taking advantage of its helpless position after the "revolution of dignity". "In non-competitive conditions, we simply insert fingers into the door, pinch them, forcing us to go into debt, demanding political concessions in return," the expert complained. The Ukrainian economy is growing at 2-4% per year, and in these conditions it is impossible to repay external debts, Bortnik believes. Next year, Kiev should spend about $ 12 billion on loan payments.. This is about a third of the country's budget, which is mainly filled by new loans.. The only way to break the vicious cycle is to restructure some of the debts (that is, to postpone their payment for 20-50 years), and a political scientist proposes to partly (approximately 40%). Observers from the Russian Federation believe that it will not bring to good Square. "Ukraine, in my opinion, in this case acts on the principle of a pickpocket: he stole someone successfully in a tram, which means that you can continue to carry. With regard to debts, this formula is 100% valid, "Andrei Suzdaltsev, deputy dean of the faculty of world economics and politics, told the Free Press.. He recalled that "Ukraine felt impunity" after refusing to pay Russia's debt, and the IMF, in violation of its own rules, extended the country’s credit line. The recipe for success is “to escalate Russophobia in the country, pretend to be a victim” and intimidate the world with “Russian aggression”, for the opposition of which you need a lot of money. "That is, they themselves engage in confrontation with Russia. For them, the confrontation with Russia turns into a trade, a method of earning income.. And the West, as they believe, should enter into a position - to strengthen sanctions against Russia, and Ukraine, as they say, to restructure the debts or even write off all debts, "the scientist said. "This is absolutely dependency approach. They are sure that the Russian $ 3 billion have “eaten” without problems and decided that the West will behave in the same way.. Will not be. But the default in Ukraine will not allow. For the West, Ukraine is their success..

Her departure from Russia is regarded there as a great victory.. If it is bankrupt, then it is their own image immediately smears. Therefore, in Kiev, they understand: anyway, they will be given some money, "he concluded. Denis Denisov, Director of the Research Institute for Peace-Making Initiatives and Conflictology, thinks that Kiev is unlikely to be able to refuse to pay its obligations. There is no reason for creditors to go for restructuring and allow default in the country. The money from Kiev is, the expert said, but for the payment of debts they will have to be taken from the population, reducing social payments.
