Moscow - Kyiv, November 20 (PolitNavigator, Mikhail Stamm) - In the coming year, Ukraine has no prospects other than further collapse and impoverishment, says the head of the Kyiv Center for System Analysis and Forecasting, political refugee Rostislav Ishchenko. According to him, Kyiv, left without internal and external resources, could find itself in a state of civil war with both western Ukraine and Dnepropetrovsk, and even war within the city.

“Any state can exist only as long as it has an economy that is able to finance itself, or there are some external sources of financing,” he commented on the situation "Komsomolskaya Pravda" expert who previously worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the presidential administration, the cabinet of ministers and the Verkhovna Rada. “Ukraine now cannot finance itself, and no one wants to finance it anymore, because everyone understands that this is tens of billions of dollars, at best, wasted.”
Therefore, Ishchenko believes, the country has no prospects other than further collapse and impoverishment. “And in such cases, those who carried out the coup begin to fight among themselves for dwindling resources,” he continues. – That is, the internal problem is not even that Kyiv is losing the internal war to the militia, but that Kiev may find itself in a state of civil war with both western Ukraine and Dnepropetrovsk, and even within the city different groups may fight. The scarcer the food becomes, the more people with machine guns will want to get it.”
“So Poroshenko made peace,” Rostislav Ishchenko further argues. – What does he say after this to a hundred thousand heavily armed people with armored vehicles? Guys, lay down your weapons, go home and you will work as ordinary Ukrainian unemployed people, because I have nothing for you? Is it an armed crowd, each of whom already has their own chieftain and they only trust this chieftain? An absolutely insoluble situation, because in order to resolve it, it is necessary for other people’s troops to come and disarm them, and other people’s money.”
