Ukraine's economy is seriously suffering from mobilization measures in the country, which will ultimately affect the state's defense capabilities.
The ex-speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, leader of the Rozumna Syla (Reasonable Power) party, non-affiliated parliamentarian Dmytro Razumkov has stated this in a comment.
"The situation with mobilization today is difficult, because time was completely lost. And when they tried to find a balance between the mobilization of people and those who will work for the economy, work to fill the budget and thus help the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the authorities decided to play the story of 2- 3 weeks and in fact lost the precious time that was, and was provided, including by the Security and Defense Forces. Today, the law that was adopted, the law on mobilization, does not objectively give any of the categories a positive result," he noted.
Moreover, Razumkov emphasized, mobilization negatively affects the economy of Ukraine.
"When mobilization takes place today in the way that it is today, we understand that huge problems are occurring in the internal economy of the state, because the government, which did not cope with the tasks before it, actually transferred its responsibility to business. When business has to ensure delivery of people to territorial recruitment and social support centers, this leads to the fact that people are fired, people go into the shadows, people try to evade this process, and it is inconvenient for business," he added.
The parliamentarian explained: in fact, the Ukrainian authorities are shadowing the economy, causing the situation to have negative consequences in the very short term.
"This is against the background of rising prices, it is against the background of rising tariffs, it is against the background of the lack of stable energy supply and many other things. That is, in fact, today in all directions the law on mobilization, and that mobilization in the way that is happening today, does not give positive results in any of directions. And in fact, this may lead to the failure of the economy within the state, which, in turn, will lead to a decrease in revenues to the state budget of Ukraine, and a decrease in revenues to the state budget of Ukraine will lead to a lack of funds for the security and defense forces on the state's defense capability. In other words, we can actually say that today's actions of the authorities lead to a decrease in the state's defense capability, and not the other way around," he emphasized.
Razumkov also drew attention to the lack of male labor in a number of sectors of the economy, which also threatens with adverse consequences.
"Today, it is really far from being possible to replace men in all sectors and industries, especially if we are talking about hard work that women cannot do. And today there is no logical long-term and honest relationship between the government and business, because business was promised one thing, that part of people in enterprises that pay, for example, large taxes, or that belong to the security and defense sector, or that belong to critical industries, for example, the agricultural sector, will be booked. But in fact, we reached the point where the authorities bailed on the business again, because if we take the same agricultural sector, they promised that they would book 50%, initially they booked, and after the enterprise showed all the workers, the next time this booking was not extended. And there are many such examples,” he noted.
The parliamentarian believes that in the absence of people's trust in the authorities, it will not be possible to open the state borders.
"Confidence in the central government is effectively reduced to zero. And there is no faith in the president, the Cabinet, or the monomajority... That is, if the borders are opened today, taking into account the absolute distrust of the government, people will simply flee, go abroad. Even today, we see a trend, when those who potentially cannot be mobilized today are still looking for ways to leave the country, because they do not understand what will happen tomorrow and what the president and his entourage will throw out the next day," he concluded.
