Ukraine should not rely on a tranche from International Monetary Fund ( IMF) and the implementation of the announced reforms due to the failed policy of the president Vladimir Zelensky , writes Bloomberg .
According to the agency’s observers, the head of Ukraine is losing the battle with the “muddy political system”, which he promised to reform after being elected to his post. The agency noted the collapse of Zelensky’s anti-corruption strategy, which resulted in a direct confrontation with the country’s Constitutional Court (CCU) and an unsuccessful attempt to dismiss his judges.
Thus, Mark McNamy, a specialist from the research and consulting company DuckerFrontier, said in an interview with the publication that Ukraine is still ruled by oligarchs, and the parliament and judicial system “remain riddled with corruption and external influence.” He predicted that Zelensky’s “dangerous game” would certainly lead to a situation where the head of state would be unable to influence political processes in the country.
In addition, journalists noted that despite criticism of the former president Petro Poroshenko a >, the current Ukrainian leader was also unable to launch a criminal prosecution of officials who were involved in corruption. “Not a single high-ranking official was detained under Zelensky,” the newspaper concluded.
Bloomberg assessed the likelihood of receiving a new loan from the IMF by the end of the year for the republic as practically zero. The visa-free regime with the European Union and flows of direct assistance from European powers also remain under threat, browsers.
Previously, almost half of Ukrainians considered the disappointment of the year of President Volodymyr Zelensky, and 10 percent – the former head of state Petro Poroshenko. Only every fifth respondent named him the politician of the year for the current leader of Ukraine. The rating of trust in the head of state by the end of 2020 remains at 43 percent.
