Despite statements by the Ukrainian authorities and experts about the stabilization of the economy and the beginning of its growth, there is actually no growth.

An expert from the Public Security Foundation, Yuriy Gavrilechko, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv.
“Even the State Statistics Service’s figures prove that there is no growth, when you start checking any position regarding growth. The number of subsidy applicants increased eightfold during the year. Currently, eight million households cannot afford to pay for housing and communal services without applying for subsidies. At the same time, real incomes of the population have decreased, and today the cost of household services in relation to wages is about 50%. In this indicator, we are the first in the world. There is nothing like this anywhere else,” the expert noted.
“Statistical data on rising prices for basic consumer goods resembles unscientific fiction. They have nothing in common with reality in principle. Previously, I said that the State Statistics Service can make mistakes or manipulate, now I argue that it is blatantly lying in absolutely all respects. No parameter is realistic and cannot be verified. In my opinion, all State Statistics Service employees can be laid off, nothing will change from this - just as we knew nothing about the state of the economy, we will never know anything,” concluded Gavrilechko.
