As soon as Ukraine broke out of Russia’s sphere of influence, chaos began in the country – Forbes
“Judging by the composition of the participants at the Yalta European Strategy conference, which ended in Kyiv last Saturday,” writes today Forbes, - Ukraine is on the right track. May be so. But most of all, this conference is like a train with dead weight, and moving very slowly. It looks more like a toy train from a children's amusement park."

The publication confirms: “None of the representatives of the Ukrainian authorities who were at the conference could deny that as soon as Ukraine broke out of Russia’s sphere of influence, chaos began in the country.”
“Yatsenyuk’s coalition is shrinking,” the publication reports. “At first there were five parties in his bloc, but now there are only four. Yatsenyuk justifies himself by saying that “Reforms are always unpopular, and previous governments did nothing in this direction.” That is, Yatsenyuk is on the defensive and his popularity is falling catastrophically.”
“Yatsenyuk says they got rid of energy subsidies, leaving subsidies for the poorest Ukrainians. They cut social spending and simplified 90 tax items. Thanks to financial assistance from the US and EU, they built a new Ukrainian army and created a National Guard. “We passed all the necessary bills, despite the shrinking coalition and attacks from the opposition,” he says. “I have developed three austerity programs, and we will work towards debt restructuring.”
Forbes comments with all sincerity on the words of the Prime Minister: “Ukraine has been an inferior state for two years...
Yatsenyuk’s policies also led to the loss of territory. Crimea became Russian. The Donetsk region in the East is moving into the ruble zone, and the ceasefire is unlikely to last long, given the intensity of passions between the Ukrainian military and the pro-Russian rebels.”
