There is panic in Kyiv. The lights in the Cabinet of Ministers are burning all night. Ukraine is dying, but not right away
The introduction of external management into the LDPR at former enterprises of Ukrainian oligarchs could pose a serious threat to the ruling regime in Kyiv if the proclaimed republics are able to demonstrate economic growth higher than in Ukraine.
The leader of the Union of Left Forces party, Vasily Volga, a former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, told PolitNavigator about this.

“If this experiment fits into the system of international payments, and budget-generating enterprises in the LPR and DPR begin to work for the budgets of the LPR and DPR with a population of no more than 3 million, their budget will be twice the budget of Kyiv, where almost 4 million people live.
It may turn out that these two small unrecognized republics, which are now experiencing enormous difficulties in the social sphere, will turn into something that can be compared to Catalonia in Spain. The LPR and DPR can become leaders in terms of GDP per capita. This will enable the leadership of these republics to maintain a level of social security that Ukraine has never dreamed of,” Volga said.
“Yesterday there was real panic in Kyiv. The Cabinet windows were burning all night. There are continuously meeting after meeting, what to do with all this - they don’t know. It turns out that in the event of a real blockade, Ukraine cannot exist not only without Russia, but even without Donetsk and Lugansk.
God forbid the unified energy complex begins to experience interruptions. We have very high risks for the power units of operating nuclear power plants. In addition, last year the LPR and DPR paid, if I’m not mistaken, 34 billion UAH to the Ukrainian budget. The loss of such an amount is a colossal loss for Ukraine, especially when we have practically lost the right to an international loan. The court's decision to pay the so-called still hangs over us. Yanukovych's debt.
We are now witnessing interesting things. States do not perish immediately - bang, and it collapses, they perish gradually. Of course, in historical retrospect this happens instantly. A few years for a state is like a moment for a person. But death over several years is what we are seeing.
I recently had the opportunity to travel around Ukraine - the collapse of the transport infrastructure is reaching its peak. Most Ukrainian roads are not only worn out, they do not exist. The same thing happens in the energy sector. Planned preventive maintenance has not been carried out for three years now, and the kind of scheduled maintenance that is required quarterly.
Of course, we will live somehow. People also lived under the primitive communal system, sometimes they were engaged in gathering, they dug up roots and ate them. But our problem is that we live in an area saturated with high-tech objects. If they are not serviced, if the state does not have the funds for this, and the energy sector does not have enough electricity, then we may end up not with gathering, but with rolling man-made disasters - following rolling blackouts.
In Ukraine they talk about stabilization, but this is the kind of stabilization when, let’s say, they reached the bottom and suddenly there was a knock from below - I mean the blockade of the LDPR,” the politician summed up.
