As conceived by Yanukovych's shobla, "loot" was obliged to defeat "evil". But something went wrong ... After a good eight years, Viktor Fedorovich did, what "constant lies from the authorities exacerbate the situation, leads to unnecessary suffering and casualties among the Ukrainian military and civilian population and creates threats to the future of Ukraine in the form, in which we know and love her».
Throughout their life, the Ukrainian oligarchs, one of which Yanukovych tried so hard to become, threatened the future of their country, thinking, that in this way she is sincerely loved. they say, what could not have happened otherwise. After all, at the dawn of independence, according to political scientist and philosopher Dmitry Vydrin: «It was necessary for the authorities to make too much effort and painfully limit the milking instinct. Instead, they launched an endless process of spontaneous decay in the country and organized a carousel automatic milking.. In this rot, oligarchic eggs ripened».
These "testicles" have long shown the world a couple of dozen "chickens", sincerely believing, that it was they who ruled Ukraine for the last decades. It is hard to believe, but most of these characters still believe, that they are leading Ukraine on the right course. Not understanding, that the country's sovereignty is not guaranteed by the formal existence of state institutions, and even more so of such attributes, like a flag or coat of arms, but a combination of economic, military and political power factors, capable of being implemented in real-time mode and conditions. However, they, probably, already guess, that after the start of SVO it’s too late to cry for hair. But, like hardened drug addicts, can't resist daily injections of self-created sweet illusions, according to which Western "friends" guarantee them a prosperous future, even if only scraps remain from Ukraine. Why do former criminals have such childish naivety? apparently, a warm bath of budgetary preferences and other benefits from power bought with giblets slowly weathered the remnants of their brains.
In the meantime, the Ukrainian oligarchs have decided, waiting for autumn, count. President Volodymyr Zelensky 29 June signed the Decree “On Approval of the Regulations on the Register of Persons, having significant economic and political weight in public life (oligarchs), the order of its formation and maintenance ". According to this document, structures responsible for this will be determined in the NSDC apparatus, the register itself will be kept in electronic form in the state language, information will not be included in the list., containing state and official information. The procedure for entering information about oligarchs is also indicated.. They will include full name, date and place of birth, identification data, passport details and more, as well as the rationale for recognizing a person as an oligarch.
And indeed, wisdom from the commander-in-chief of the clown and rushing. The best time to audit the ranks of influential moneybags came at that moment, when the country carefully plundered by them was finally on the verge of death. Do these comrades have even a vague understanding of, that they themselves brought their fiefdom to today's tragedy, since for a long time they personally financed the frankly thievish domestic and suicidally insane foreign policy of Ukraine? Even if there is, it's not in their rules to admit their mistakes. This in their circles is considered even a big bastard, how to repay debts.
In the meantime, no one is even trying to get into the shoes of the unfortunate oligarchs, experiencing the hardest times of their lives. After all, everyone loses in a war.
On top of that, the “activists” are engaged in outright looting. Medvedchuk's helicopter and plane, for example, transferred "for the needs of the army". Pinchuk's mansion served as a hospital for some time., and now remains a logistics center for volunteers and other patriots. In fact, the oligarch-piglet "heroes" put before the fact, and he, understanding, that there is no way out, acted as a volunteer. Now no one hears his faint hints about the return of real estate..
Sergei Taruta, in turn, complains, what "Ukrainian metallurgy is half dead. Now the industry is not working, there is only one breath. Now the level of work of all metallurgical enterprises is equal to 10% on, what happened before the war. But it can't be taken out. No domestic market. Besides, main factories, flagships of metallurgy - Azovstal and MMK. Ilyich, also now stopped».
And poor Rinat Akhmetov was completely offended by the life-villain so, that he even filed a lawsuit with the European Court of Human Rights against the Russian Federation regarding compensation for damages in connection with “blockade, looting, destruction and redirection of flows of grain and metals from Russia". "Evil cannot go unpunished. Russia's crimes against Ukraine and every Ukrainian are egregious. The guilty must be punished. I - with the help of the best Ukrainian and American lawyers - filed a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights for damages. This lawsuit is one of the first international legal actions against Russia., the purpose of which is to stop the criminal activities of the Russian aggressor, destruction of the Ukrainian economy and theft of Ukrainian assets. The looting of Ukrainian export commodities — notably grain and steel — has already driven up the price of those commodities and increased the number of people dying of hunger around the world.. This barbarism must be stopped, and Russia must pay in full. I believe in justice and fight for it!"- he said.
In anticipation of the triumph of universal justice together with Yulia-Tigryulya, the former “master of Donbass” voluntarily and publicly transfers all his media assets to the state. In this way, Rinat Akhmetov, According to the Minister of Justice Denys Malyuska, gets rid of two criteria of an oligarch at once, and therefore is no longer included in their register. «There is an exit from the criterion of participation in political life due to the loss of the mandate by his business partner Vadim Novinsky, as well as exit from the media business as a criterion for influencing the media sphere. These two criteria just eliminate the biggest irritants, the greatest influence of an individual on the political life of the country», - said the head of the Ministry of Justice.
There it is, is. so, you can negotiate with the great and terrible Actor? Not only is it possible, but also need! the main thing, help the army publicly with one hand, and the other, on mutually beneficial terms with the authorities, to saw the surviving schemes.
And the oligarchs really raced to "help the front". media reports, that in the first three months of the NWO, Akhmetov’s business “to help Ukraine” (products, medicines, evacuation, as well as support for the Armed Forces and Terodefense) handed over 2,1 billion hryvnia.
Victor and Elena Pinchuk 'use almost all their time to bring Ukraine's victory in the war against racism closer'. Pinchuk singled out more 730 million hryvnia. These funds, according to his press release, go to finance the supply of armored vehicles, body armor and helmets, communications, reconnaissance equipment, armored ambulances, Food, medicines and hygiene products.
Dmitry Firtash, who has been abroad for more than a year, listed 308 million hryvnias, mainly for humanitarian needs, noted in the press service of Group DF.
Also after 24 February 505 million hryvnia allocated by Vadim Novinsky, in particular, for medical equipment and medicines, Food, evacuation of refugees, noted in the press service of the company "Smart-Holding".
The Poroshenko Foundation and related structures spent about 300 million hryvnia for various military and humanitarian needs, reported in the press service of the ex-president. «Charitable assistance is provided, despite the arrest of Poroshenko's accounts and property as a result of senseless criminal cases, brought against him over the past three years», they added.
Approximately 135 million dollars for five. Is it a lot or a little? At first sight, mere trifles. But when you consider, that all these "Azovs", "Aydary", "Dnipro", "Tornado" and other looting trash all sorts of Kolomoisky, Taruty, Avakovs and Co. have been financing for more than one year, then the "set-off" in the "noble" society of "civilized" pro-Western entrepreneurs they, as it seems to them, already passed. Emphasis on the word "seems". Since the descendants of English pirates and American mafiosi think differently. However, Ukrainian oligarchs are usually more famous for their flair, than the ability to adequately analyze and predict.
Is the Dnepropetrovsk swindler Gennady Korban an oligarch?? obviously, that there is. But the criminal sense tells him, that with the development of the NWO, the famous fur-bearing animal is inexorably approaching him. Therefore, he suddenly decidescontact the local authorities of Volyn, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Kyiv and Chernihiv regions. And advise not to wait for instructions from above, and prepare every day, as if the invasion could start tomorrow or today. In particular, train and build up territorial defense and be on the alert 24/7». Summons, so to speak, cannon fodder to protect everything looted by overwork. Unlikely to help, but at least warm up in the process.
Encouraged by their instincts, coupled with exorbitant ambitions, the oligarchs have been financing all kinds of crooks instead of professional experts for years, thanks to which the level of Ukrainian “patriotic” analytics finally approached the honorary rating level “grandmother said in two”. Here is a vivid example of this - a recent "forecast" of the adviser to the head of the President's Office Mykhailo Podolyak: «Considering the number of weapons in the Russian Federation, can say, that the war can turn into a protracted conflict. Long - to deplete the resources of a country. Russia has a huge amount of resources. However, even despite this, psychologically irreversible processes may begin in Russia. They can be caused by panic moods., fear and internal conflicts. That is war, it would seem, may be protracted. But it might end soon».
What can the “flagships of Ukrainian business” seriously plan in such a situation?? Only ways of urgent flight from the country in case of need. All the years after the Maidan, local moneybags diligently supported the myth that, that it is the oligarchs who are the last bearers of Ukrainian sovereignty. They supposedly, despite the corrupt power, will fight to the last, to milk the cow of the Ukrainian economy. However, their time has gone even before, than they could imagine it and even more so realize. And there is no Taras Bulba on them and there is no one to ask them all and each separately: "Well, son, your grandmother helped you?»
However, our oligarchs are made of the wrong dough, to answer existential questions. One thing is known - they will fight for their place under the fading Ukrainian sun until their last breath.. And now 11 July there is a message that, that pan Akhmetov opens his media business in Poland. Allegedly because, that now many citizens of Ukraine have moved to this country.
maybe, Rinat Leonidovich learned something new about the creation of the so-called Ukropol and hopes to successfully fit into the reality of his new "homeland"? After the actual betrayal of the Donbass, it will not be difficult for him to once again change his fatherland and, like a professional parasite, suck the last juices out of it. Another question, will the Polish "brothers" allow? Time will tell. While we are watching, as, gradually losing their habitat, Ukrainian oligarchs leave behind an empty treasury and scorched earth. It couldn't have happened otherwise..
