The depression during the 1990s included hyperinflation and a fall in economic output to less than half of the GDP of the preceding Ukrainian SSR. GDP growth was recorded for the first time in 2000, and continued for eight years.[33] This growth was halted by the global financial crisis of 2008, but the Ukrainian economy recovered and achieved positive GDP growth in the first quarter of 2010.[34] In the early 2010s, Ukraine was noted for possessing many of the components of a major European economy: rich farmlands,[35][36] a well-developed industrial base, highly trained labour, and a good education system.[37] However, by October 2013, the Ukrainian economy lapsed once again into a recession.[38] The previous summer, Ukrainian exports to Russia substantially declined due to stricter border and customs control by Russia.[39] The early 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia, and the War in Donbass that started in the spring of 2014 severely damaged Ukraine's economy[40] and severely damaged two of the country's most industrial regions.[41] In 2013, Ukraine saw zero GDP growth.[41] Ukraine's economy shrank by 6.8% in 2014,[42] and this continued with a 12% decline in GDP in 2015.[43] In April 2017, the World Bank stated that Ukraine's economic growth rate was 2.3% in 2016, thus ending the recession.[44] Despite these improvements, Ukraine remains the poorest country in Europe by nominal GDP per capita,[45] due to high corruption.[46]
In April 2020, the World Bank reported that economic growth was solid at 3.2 percent in 2019, led by a good agricultural harvest and sectors dependent on domestic consumption. Household consumption grew by 11.9 percent in 2019, supported by sizable remittance inflows and a resumption of consumer lending, while domestic trade and agriculture grew by 3.4 and 1.3 percent, respectively.[47] However, in 2020 GDP collapsed by 4.4 percent due to COVID-19 pandemic.[48]
NEW ORLEANS ? Former president Donald Trump mused Saturday to the GOP?s top donors that the United States should label its F-22 planes with the Chinese flag and ?bomb the s--t out of Russia.?
Answer : Mainstream media always take out of context of Donald speeches! Of course Trump was joking! Do remember, Putin dare not touch Ukraine during his 4 years!
Trump was the smart one and never promised Zelenskyy anytthing but Biden received Zelenskyy in white house like VVIP and give him false hope that he can take on Russia.
SsLee! Trump even put on some sanctions on Russia! Did Putin retaliate, no! Trump reduce NATO personnel in Germany! Did German retaliate, yes! Trump refused to give free money to Ukraine, did the president retaliate, no! Trump also refuse to buy Russia crude oil instead opt for Canada through Keystone pipeline! Tell me, is Trump Putin's puppet like what Democrats shouting all this years! Personally i think Biden and Obama are the dumbass that Putin wants! During Obama administration, Putin invade Crimea! And now during Biden administration, Putin invades Ukraine! If only Democrats focus on attacking Putin and not poor old Trump, i think they could have done so much! Everyday attack Donald Trump just like everyday attack Najib! So what, if Trump is guilty as charge, bring him to court! After 2 fake allegations during Trump administration, we should wise up to Democrats tactics! Trump will not go to jail! Fake allegations can only go so far! But Najib will go to jail unless oppossition parties really mess up like now!
MY is just a small potato nation may end up like ukraine if callously dealing with two superpower....ukraine pay a huge price voting a joker as president who treat putin as small fly.
Why are you so deluded to believe Putin moved close to 150k troops, thousands of tanks and armored vehicles to kill one person. This cost billions for Russia and China. Easier for a KGB/spy agent to repeat Alexei Navalny case by using poison with a Novichok nerve agent So they won’t leave after killing Zelensky
The reason why Putin can stay so long as president is because he assassinate every single potential successor! Putin also eliminate hundreds of journalists! Mahathir used to do political assasination until his tactic finally used by his nemesis! Reminder Sandakan video! So yeah, Putin cannot afford to retire as president! Too many enemies!
Qqq! Putin is now desperately looking for fresh soldiers including from Malaysia! Maybe you should join! I mean, you lose face if Putin get thrown under the bus!
Qqq! The obligachs are suffering! They can't move freely! They can't do business outside Russia! If crude oil is banned, then they will see their business collapse! So Putin is now a huge liability to them! Need new puppet!
Qqq! Obligachs are the reason for Putin to be in charge! If Putin perform poorly, the obligachs will cut him off! No.1 come and go! But the obligachs are the power behind the throne!
Putin has been in charge for 22 years! But this round i think he totally miscalculated things! He even threaten to detach ISS! He has lost his mind! World leaders will not negotiate with madman!
And now Putin is ordering every single army he has to go to Ukraine! And desperately seeking fighters from Syria too! This only mean he totally miscalculate Ukraine!
How will Putin double down! He already triple down! What else can he do! Intimidate world leaders again! Done that! Threaten to nuke everybody! Yeah! He has shown all his cards!

Why are you so sure the death of Zelensky will demoralize normal Ukrainians?
