The economist debunked the story of the Kyiv regime about the debts of the “predecessors”
The Kiev government exists by deliberately increasing the country's external debt without regard to the consequences.
Former Minister of Economy of Ukraine Viktor Suslov stated this on the NewsOne TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Our government is constantly inflating the idea that it is not increasing debts, but is paying off the debts of previous rulers, that all of these are “predecessors.” It is not true. You can take a very simple indicator - the level of government debt at a certain date, say, at the beginning of 2014. And then at the beginning of 2018 it turned out that the level of debt would have decreased if previous debts had been reduced. And it grew by 15 billion dollars.
Plus, what has grown this year has not yet been published as of January 1, but there is no doubt that the level will be more than 20 billion in debt growth after the Maidan. Therefore, the current government has forced Ukraine to live in debt and increase these state external debts,” said Suslov.
Earlier, economic expert Vsevolod Stepanyuk said that since the state has nowhere to get funds to pay off external debts, it will squeeze them out of the population by raising tariffs and taxes.
