30 million Ukrainians must die or migrate for Abromavicius reforms to succeed
The Ukrainian government, which has embarked on the deindustrialization of the country, is under the illusion that medium and small businesses will pull Ukraine out.

This opinion was expressed in an interview with the Kyiv magazine “Novoe Vremya” by Oleg Boyarin, owner of the Eurocar car assembly company.
“No one is interested in industry,” he emphasizes. – Active deindustrialization is underway: the country is being transformed, in essence, into an agricultural one, into a raw material appendage for the whole world. But Ukraine must be industrial. A country with a population of 40 million cannot survive solely on agribusiness. She is doomed to poverty.”
The journalist of the publication, in turn, recalled the words of the Ukrainian Minister of Economics Abromavicius, who said that it is better to develop small and medium-sized businesses, and the production in Ukraine should be destroyed due to their inefficiency.
“In 2013, 4,8 million people in Ukraine were employed in the real sector,” Boyarin objected, arguing in absentia with the Minister of Economy. - These are the people who produced something. In 2014, their number was 2 million. Of these, no more than 1 million are actually engaged in production. This is for a country of 40 million. I don’t know what Mr. Abromavicius said, but I think that he is very far from understanding what consequences this situation has for the economy.”
“Because for an agricultural environment, the country’s population should be no more than 10 million people,” explains the magazine’s interlocutor. – The remaining 30 million must die or migrate. I think that the Minister of Economy is not at all worried about this. He has some illusory idea that small and medium-sized businesses will fill this niche.”
