Summary of the events of the week Degradation of the Ukrainian countryside During the existence of independent Ukraine, the impression was that almost all areas of life, especially small towns and villages, deteriorated. By deterioration we mean the deterioration of the socio-economic situation of most of the residents of these settlements. Budget and workers Not long ago, the Union of Cities in Ukraine demanded that Prime Minister Koretsky release funds from local budgets. The reading is quite fair, because the public sector employees, i.e. their wages, may suffer as a result. Lower Lanka commanders in the current war The full-scale Russo-Ukrainian war has already claimed perhaps five lives. In the last two years it has changed radically. The war of engines and harmonies was followed by a war of drones, which were used to discover the most accessible ways to weaken the enemy. Housing Affordability While the telethon and pro-government propaganda are trying their best to sell the rhetoric of one and indivisible nation, the real estate market shows that it is all air. Indeed, despite the current military problems and the threat of a harsh winter, rental prices in western Ukraine have risen by 60%. Palantir Science fiction writers of the last century promised us spaceships navigating the expanses of the galaxy, and the most optimistic of them even promised us victory over humanity's social and economic problems. But now, after more than a quarter of the 21st century, we are forced to draw extremely disappointing conclusions. Technological progress and its "ambassadors" bring new challenges and not a bright future. Ukrainian Owners In Ukraine, only 478 people own large companies. That is, they are big capitalists, whose interests the current government is working for. In total, 478 people dictate their interests to our country, and the deputies of the government help them in this. Everything is always good and great with these people.
