Tymoshenko: Russia agrees to provide loan to Ukraine
7 February, 18:42 | Interfax-Ukraine

- E-mail to an editorial
MUNICH – Russia has agreed to provide a loan to Ukraine pursuant a request from Kyiv, however the information about Russia's alleged demands on Ukraine circulated in a number of mass media is not true, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has said.
"This is not true," Tymoshenko said on Saturday in Munich answering a question by Interfax-Ukraine correspondent.
Tymoshenko called this information "insinuations." "These are not intended for economic and political stability, but aimed at destruction instead," the premier said.
Interfax provided no details about the amount or terms of the loan.

Can anyone explain why Ukraine needs a loan from Russia or anywhere else?
Can anyone explain why Ukraine is forced to have a budget deficit? What is it that prevents Ukraine from having a balanced budget?
Perhaps one component of the deficit is all of the money spent on the members of Parliament for all of their perks and privileges, like car allowances, and housing allowances, and all sorts of other goodies?

Ukraine adopted US type tax system -- politicians tax their citizens up the ass and spend as much money as they possibly can, as fast as they possibly can. They don\'t give a rat\'s ass about balanced budget.

Take a rucksack and hike in the Carpatian mountains. Try to find the graal: the well hidden and protected high tech undergound facilities of the CSE, Carpathian School of Economics. There lies the essence of the economical science of Ukraine. Few get entrance, The villagers in the vicinity, all alumini, will test you to check if you meet the high standards.
Elmer, to understand what happend to Ukraine, just re-read the news. It was supposed to happen. Put idiots in the driver\'s seat, and let the idiot court the idiotic passengers and you have a high chance of a crash.
Ukraine will split into 4-5 entities. It resembles in that respect Israel: Israel was a state a few 1000 years ago. They could not hold it, so the country imploded. They are back now however i give Israel 5 more years to survive, looking at their attitude towards their neighbours. Same with Ukraine: makes ennemies with everyone, and then is surprized to see the outcome.

Ukraine will not sell \"Ukraine\" to the Russians, the Russians will merely take it back, all or in part, claiming some b.s. as in Northern Georgia. And who could stop them?

Split the country and good luck to all.

As I have said many times in my comments the majority of the current ruling political elite of Ukraine is either throughly corrupt, incompetent or plainly STUPID! The three main political leaders of the country are like in an eternal Jack and Jill show where they are hitting each other all the time. If it was not such a tragic thing for a country to be under such YAHOOS one would have to break out laughing. I think if these leaders do not depart the stage SOON the country is going to go bankrupt. So as I have proposed many times it\\\'s time for the people of the country to rise up and join a general strike to make all of these leeches leave power. A provisional government of the most honest and competent people in the country should come into power to draw a new constitution and to administer things till elections can be called. The country has to be run as neutral and non-aligned. Non-corruption and an efficient economy need to be our concerns. Finland is a country to emulate

Pitiful orange retards and thieves brought the Ukraine economy to it\'s knees, following their US masters into economy crash and oblivion.
Russia must be real dumb to provide loan to this bunch of good for nothing orange imbecilles. Considering the oranges were not able to pay even their gas bill, how could Russia expect for this loan to be repaid EVER?
Let them live on the IMF loan, if the orange morons can secure any considering their dishonesty, heh, heh, heh

Well, sector_gaza et al,--it\'s no surprise to see you here too. So how much do you really get paid by the Kremlin for your cyber warfare against Ukraine?
Cherkasy5 (Guest) | 12.02.2009, 16:02
Can\'t wait to see what Tymoshenko\'s spokesman and chief advocate Taras Kuzio has to say about this one. He keeps dubiously claiming that there is no deal between Tymo and Putin.

Your Nazi papa\'s agenda is done. Time to move to Canada, or buy some knee pads.

Way to go Julia. Tymoshenko will be Ukraine\'s next president.
Guest (Guest) | 13.02.2009, 12:01
If the old cow stays in power much longer there won\'t be any Ukraine to be President of!

It\'s really not that hard to understand.
\"Insinuation s\"? Come on, Yulia, stop lying about it.
Just do what the IMF said.
Why on earth did you just spend BIG BUCKS to hire the Blackstone Group to \"advise\" the Ukrainian government what to do with the IMF?
Did the Blackstone Group tell you to ignore the advice of the IMF?
Why the hell did you need to spend money on the Blackstone Group, if you\'re simply going to ignore the IMF?
It\'s sheer stupidity to go to roosha for a loan - and it\'s even worse to lie about it.

Furthermore, last week the IMF came to Ukraine to check on progress on the $16 billion commitment.
Ukraine had agreed to balance the budget - it wasn\'t done. Bank restructuring? Forget about it.
The first tranche of $4.5 billion was already paid. But the IMF left town, and it\'s not likely that Ukraine will receive more.

In typical dunderhead fashion, the Ukrainian politicos think that they can bluff and huff and puff their way out of this.
Or, failing that, sell their souls and everything else to the thugs in roosha.
It\'s really not that head. Even the Ukrainian idiot morons in government should be able to understand - balance the budget. Restructure the banks. Get the rest of the IMF loans. Don\'t do business with the thugs in roosha.
People are not stupid. They understand dealing with a crisis - and selling the country to roosha.
