Ruslan Bortnik, director of the Ukrainian Institute of Policy Analysis and Management, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv.
“We are actually an isolated country internationally, but no one talks about it. We analyzed the number of high-level visits over the last five years. In 2011, there were 152 visits when the president or prime minister traveled abroad or received us. In 2012 – 137, in 2014 – 96, and 13 of them were visits by Yanukovych. And in 2015 – 83. That is, since 2011, the number of visits at the highest level has fallen by half. Our country is isolated, despite all the statements that we are supported by a huge international coalition. This, unfortunately, does not correspond to statistics and our political reality,” the political scientist emphasized.
