Are economic reforms possible during times of war? This question is too narrow for Ukraine. The better question is whether reforms, in general, are possible in Ukraine. Our 22-year history, including the 6-month history of our “new” government, proves that Ukraine and reforms are simply incompatible. Why? The answer seems simple: the Ukrainian “elite” makes only populist decisions and clearly, under this guise, steals. Until today the population stood against corruption, but never against populism. Real economic reforms are not compatible with either populism or corruption. Their result is always increased salaries, income and profit of those who productively, creatively, innovatively, diligently and honestly work, while decreasing the amount and income of corrupt bureaucrats, social parasites, shadow business and those who work very little at an unproductive rate.

Several months ago I wrote about a possible default of Ukraine which was aggressively but lamely prepared for us by Russia. The Fifth Column and our idiotic leaders have strangely helped and, in fact, are still helping Russia in this endeavor. However, everything has changed over the past few months, especially in light of the Malaysian flight downed by Russian terrorists.

As Ukraine is undergoing historical political and economic changes, it is important to understand the current trends in order to predict future developments. For that reason, we are pleased to share with you a recent article written by Dr. Savchenko, entitled “An Action Plan for a New Technocratic Government”, which explains the unique role of the new government and next steps it should take, including conducting unpopular economic reforms and signing the EU Association Agreement.
