For the money spent on Trump's inauguration by Ukrainian politicians, tens of thousands of sick Ukrainians could have been saved
During working hours, Ukrainian deputies decided to go to the inauguration of Donald Trump, purchasing tickets to the ceremony for the sake of PR at a price of tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Director of the Ukrainian Institute of Policy Analysis and Management Ruslan Bortnik spoke about this at a press conference in Kyiv.
“On the one hand, people quit their jobs, if we talk about people’s deputies. On the other hand, they all paid between $60 and $300 (depending on the event you choose) to attend Trump's inauguration. If they all chipped in, we would probably be able to build a new hospital or provide the vaccine to the community and cure tens of thousands of people. But for them it turned out to be more important to get a PR effect by showing everyone that we are familiar with Trump, there are some ways out, and they still have the stub from participating in the inauguration in their pocket,” the political scientist noted.
“Such political exhibitionism is absolutely irresponsible. I don’t know of another country where such a wide delegation of politicians would take part in this inauguration, and during working hours,” the expert added.
As PolitNavigator reported, Mikheil Saakashvili got a place in the bushes at Trump's inauguration.
