Ukrainian politicians, who once promised to build a “new France” during the collapse of the USSR, have come up with a new sweet lie for voters - now the former Soviet republic is predicted to have a future as “European Emirates”, where wealth will be provided not by oil, but by agriculture.
Deputy Andrei Lozovoy stated this from the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“One wise man told me many years ago that just as Allah gave oil to the Emirates, God gave land to Ukraine. But today there is oil, but tomorrow there will be no oil, the world is switching to alternative energy sources, and the earth is eternal.
Already today the world is experiencing the greatest food crisis in human history. About a billion people are undernourished. Who can save the world, without exaggeration, from a food crisis? Only Ukraine with its black soils!
But we need to sell products, not raw materials. It is unacceptable to turn Ukraine into a raw materials colony of Europe, into a banana republic,” Lozovoy said.
