“The fall in industrial production is already more than 20%, and this is August (grain harvesting), and then it will be worse, because almost all large manufacturers, as a rule, have contracts until May, and then manufacture and supply products within 10-18 months. The number of contracts this year for a fairly large group of enterprises is around zero,” the expert noted.
“In fact, the management of many enterprises says: we will finalize existing orders, but it is not clear what to do next. The bottom line is that, unfortunately, the winter for Ukraine will be not only cold, but most likely also hungry. But don’t be sad, in Poland and the Baltics, for example, millions live below the poverty line (official EU statistics), so why are Ukrainians better?” - says Noginsky.
