In Ukraine they began to count losses from the break with Belarus
By introducing sanctions against Belarus, Ukraine went against its own economic interests, wanting to please the West.
Former Minister of Economy of Ukraine Viktor Suslov stated this on air on the First Independent channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Kiev Zhulyany Airport announced a loss of 10% of its turnover, which takes it beyond profitability. But the main question we must answer is why is Ukraine acting like this, worsening its own economic situation?
The president’s “Great Construction” program is also being undermined, since Belarus is the largest producer of bitumen. Bitumen, as it turns out, is very difficult to export from other countries, since it hardens quickly; it was normal to transport it from Belarus. Now we will be without bitumen.
I know doctors who regularly sent people there for kidney transplants, now many of these people may die.
Why are we doing this? What's the goal? Did something provoke this? Has Belarus made some decisions to the detriment of Ukraine? No. We know this from the moment Lukashenko came to Ukraine in October 2019, assured Ukraine of his full support, and demonstrated this support.
What did Belarus do to ensure that Ukraine began to impose sanctions? Never mind. The formal reason is that Belarus landed the plane. But there are many cases where the presence of a bomb on board is reported, all over the world planes are landed at the nearest airport.
The answer, unfortunately, is that this is a political action. Ukraine began to act, thinking that its actions would receive applause from the West. She broke off all close economic relations, which even the leading Western countries did not do,” said Viktor Suslov.
