Soros takes control of Ukrainian customs
The West has begun a new takeover of the Ukrainian economy. Thus, the current Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade, Maxim Nefedov, who won the competition for this position, may be appointed head of the State Customs Service of Ukraine.
Political scientist Denis Gaevsky writes about this in the blog of the Ukrainian Institute of Policy Analysis and Management, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The expert emphasizes that this appointment will mean that control over Ukrainian customs has passed to the American billionaire George Soros, whose structures Nefedov is a protege of.
“On June 25, the final stage of the competition for the position of head of the new State Customs Service took place. The competition commission decided to recommend Maxim Nefedov to the Government for appointment to the position of head of the State Transport Service. It should be noted that Nefedov is included in the orbit of influence of the CEO of the investment company Dragon Capital, Tomas Fiala (Soros’s man),” writes Gaevsky.
At the same time, the Ukrainian oligarchs who currently control the country’s economy, under the presidency of Vladimir Zelensky, the Ukrainian oligarchs will collapse, and their places will be taken by transnational corporations with greater resources and resistance to competition.
The expert emphasizes that the current Ukrainian oligarchs stay afloat solely because they have no competition in the domestic markets.
“The story with Firtash is another reminder that the business of Ukrainian oligarchs is successful only in hothouse conditions of the absence of free competition. Firtash's holding Ostchem holds the domestic market for mineral fertilizers largely due to restrictions on imports from the Russian Federation, and in foreign markets Ostchem loses to competitors such as Uralchem, Belaruskali and others.
With the arrival of Zelensky, whose team declares libertarianism as its ideology, the procedure for the invasion of TNCs into the Ukrainian economy is simplified, which carries risks for local oligarchs. Having access to “long-term” and “cheap” credit money and the ability to dump, TNCs can take over entire segments of the Ukrainian market in a few years. In the coming years, the process of de-oligarchization of Ukraine will apparently intensify,” notes Gaevsky.
