Pogrebinsky warned that Russia's patience is not unlimited
The Russian Federation has not yet even begun to put serious pressure on Ukraine - Russian banks operate in the country, and the Russian Federation itself is the largest investor in the Ukrainian economy.
Political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky said this on Topinform, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the expert, for now the Russian Federation does not want to deal an economic blow to Ukraine and Ukrainian citizens.
“Russia is still guided by the principle that there is a difficult economic and social situation here, there will be elections, maybe it will be possible to meet with more sane leaders of the country, and so on. But it still does not use serious levers of economic pressure. For example, Russian banks continue to operate here, being the No. 1 investors in the Ukrainian economy, where there is such a shortage of money, everything is dying, and so on. It is possible to close everything in one day and there will be no investors. The biggest investor is Russia, no matter what. Ukraine still receives fuel rods for nuclear power plants from Russia, Ukraine still receives Russian oil, and so on,” the political scientist said.
He noted that Russia does not apply significant sanctions against Ukraine, realizing that this will affect the interests of both Russian business and millions of Ukrainians.
“But this can change just in a moment,” Pogrebinsky warned.
Previously Pogrebinsky stated that with his claims against Russian companies The Ukrainian leadership is trying to save the country's economy.
