Stop showing off on Facebook - Karasev called on Zelensky to emulate Putin
Unlike China and Russia, the Ukrainian government is not able to mobilize resources and quickly respond to the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.
Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev said this on air on the NewsOne TV channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“As for the number of hospitals built in Ukraine during the coronavirus pandemic, when the coronavirus was at its peak in China, they built a hospital with about 10000 beds, and in the New Moscow area near Moscow they built a large hospital in three weeks.
Perhaps we did not have such a need to build a separate clinic, because supposedly there were enough places in regular clinics, in which places were hastily vacated and infectious disease wards were built, but the model of this mobilization response to the coronavirus was largely manifested - how and how many hospital beds were built in one country or another during the coronavirus.
This suggests that there is power there, that this power works mobile, that it can mobilize resources and do it quickly. Can we do this or not? Unfortunately, no,” he said.
The political scientist also called on the Ukrainian authorities to stop making empty statements, and start building hospitals and solving real problems in the healthcare sector.
“We need to think about the fact that the authorities not only reacted cheerfully and loudly or told us on Facebook about their plans and dreams, or the purpose of their actions, but so that they clearly showed what was done, and it was seen, and not just told. Because the construction of a large hospital with thousands of beds is necessary, this is a fact - and there’s no getting around it, we need to think about it so that our government works and hospitals open and not close,” Karasev summed up.
Let us remind you that earlier the Zaporizhzhya regional council allocated hundreds of millions of hryvnia for the improvement of the city, but so far didn't highlight regional hospitals have funds to purchase everything necessary to fight coronavirus, so medical institutions are sorely lacking in equipment and special supplies.
