“Intermarium” was discussed in Davos - Ukraine was not invited
During the Polish Breakfast held within the framework of the International Economic Forum, Eastern European countries discussed the creation of a new economic union, but no one invited representatives of Ukraine to this event.
This was announced by the director of economic programs of the Ukrainian Institute of the Future, Anatoly Amelin, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We actively discussed a new economic union. This is Intermarium, the Baltic-Black Sea Union - in which there is no Ukraine!
By the way, Ukraine was not at the breakfast either. They weren’t invited or showed no interest. We can drool as much as we want and talk about the great potential for development of our richest country, the important role of Ukraine in China’s infrastructure project “One Belt One Road”, the impossibility of the Baltic-Black Sea Union without Ukraine... But in fact, we remain sitting on the *oop.
Until our leaders have eggs, their own strategic vision, until the country has strategic goals and its own pragmatic agenda, including an international one, Ukraine will stagnate.
Industrial production will fall, Ukrainians will leave to work. Presidents and prime ministers will change, but it’s time to replace beautiful fairy tales, which are 28 years old, with a pragmatic agenda,” the expert is indignant.
Let us note that the European participants in the discussion about the “Intermarium”, together with Ukraine, also forgot Belarus.
Let us recall that Polish President Andrzej Duda announced plans to create the so-called Intermarium back in 2015. At that time he was still did not exclude the possibility of including Ukraine in this union.
On this issue, Alexander Nosovich, a columnist for the Kaliningrad portal RuBaltic, expressed the opinion to PolitNavigator that Warsaw does not have the economic, diplomatic and military resources to create such a project.
