Re: Large Number of Ukraine Servicemen Unwilling to Fight, Refuse to Obey Orders of K

Ukraine is on the brink of economic collapse.

Its central bank raised benchmark interest rates from 19.5% to 30% effective Wednesday. Ukraine's currency, the hryvnia, has lost nearly 70% of its value against the dollar in just a year. GDP shrank by 7% in 2014.

Chinese diplomat tells West to consider Russia's security concerns over Ukraine
BEIJING Fri Feb 27, 2015

(Reuters) - Western powers should take into consideration Russia's legitimate security concerns over Ukraine, a top Chinese diplomat has said in an unusually frank and open display of support for Moscow's position in the crisis.

Qu Xing, China's ambassador to Belgium, was quoted by state news agency Xinhua late on Thursday as blaming competition between Russia and the West for the Ukraine crisis, urging Western powers to "abandon the zero-sum mentality" with Russia.
He said the "nature and root cause" of the crisis was the "game" between Russia and Western powers, including the United States and the European Union.

The Russian economy has been hit hard by sanctions. They are paying a HUGE price for invading Ukraine. While Putin is arguably the richest man in the world, the living standard for the average Russian is dropping. Not many countries in the world have a dropping living standard. Well done Putin :)

Well, you can believe that if you want, I mean if that is what the mainstream corporate press is telling you. Or you can listen to this expert and consider the facts: The Destabilization Strategy of America’s Oligarchy and the Fight For Oil with William Engdahl - TheLip.tv

Obama has Libya, Syria and now Ukraine as failures in his foreign policy of destroying a country just to destroy it and see if it causes ramifications for the future.

Who loses? Ukraine.

Ukraine Debt Rating Now Super-Duper Junk
4/10/2015

On Friday, Standard & Poor’s cut Ukraine’s long term foreign debt rating to CC from CCC-. The rating of CC is one notch above C, which is used when a debtor is in the process of filing for bankruptcy protection.
In 2008, Ukraine’s GDP was $180 billion. This year, Standard & Poor’s estimates it to come in at just $73 billion, a 50% drop. That has direct impacts on an otherwise educated workforce seeking to integrate with the West.

GDP per capita is expected to fall to around $2,000 this year, an embarrassment which puts the number on par with India. Ukraine’s population is 45 million.

In 2008, Ukraine’s debt to GDP ratio was a solid 20%. Today, it is very high 93% according to Standard & Poor’s.

This is what war does. This is Putin's making. Putin is destroying Russia and Ukraine just to satisfy his mental 'short man' syndrome. I believe the Russian economy has lost too with all this ****. Let's hope that more and more Russian people see Putin for who he is.
