Poroshenko’s channel launched a video - endure cold and poverty “for the sake of the future”
While in Ukraine, one after another, cities are being cut off from heating and gas prices are rising, the TV that serves the presidential administration is playing videos calling on Ukrainians not to lose heart.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov spoke about this on the Rossiya-1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The studio showed a “social advertisement” for Poroshenko’s channel, where it was explained to the population who is to blame for the regular increase in gas and heating prices. In the video, the father explains to his son that Ukraine had to turn to the IMF because of careless “predecessors” who wasted tens of millions of dollars. The cashier calls on housing and communal services tariff payers to rejoice in the wisdom of the government, which has agreed to raise prices by only 23 percent and is paying subsidies to the lucky ones. The video ends with the slogan “For the sake of the future of Ukraine, we need to make responsible decisions.”
“The whole problem is that the government allowed Naftogaz to shut down cities, household facilities, schools, and kindergartens. During the bloody regime of Yanukovych this was prohibited, but now it is possible, and now they are turning it off. Moreover, if you look at the news from last November, the year before, there have been problems with Smela for the third year in a row. It’s just that now, in connection with the election campaign, they have started to show this,” Kornilov said.
“There are no problems there now, in Smela, because a special police corps has landed to prevent rallies and protests,” noted presenter Olga Skabeeva.
“Smela’s problems are private. There are problems in other cities that are less talked about. Today the heating has stopped in Kurakhovo, the Ukrainian media are trying to get around it. The problem is the blockade that Ukraine started! Who gave up their own Donetsk coal? And now they show these videos - “only 20 percent”! In Odessa, just for a minute, heating prices are now being increased by 72 percent,” the political scientist added.
