Political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The privatization law was adopted under pressure from the IMF. The Fund demanded the restoration of privatization in Ukraine, although it shows failures - 2,7% in 2014, 8% last year. And we can hardly expect any breakthroughs in this direction - the issue of privatization is actually a matter of investment. Who is investing money in Ukraine today? Even our oligarchs are afraid to withdraw money from Cyprus and other places here, because they are afraid that they will take it away, something will be played out, and they will find themselves in the role of Akhmetov, who lost 40 enterprises in Donbass,” the expert noted.
“The West could potentially invest, but it does not consider such Somalia for investment - only for short-term financial speculation, and Ukraine is not interesting for this today. Russia has money, but, of course, it won’t come here - the comrades have already been very burned. Especially this situation with banks finishes off any attempts by Russian business, even on a dark night in a wig, to come here and somehow participate in our privatization processes,” Bortnik concluded.
