Oekraïne is een economisch rampgebied, niemand in de voormalige Sovjet-Unie wil hun voorbeeld volgen.

Russian Kindergarten Staff Write Open Letter to Putin Over Rising Prices
The open letter slammed local officials for living lavishly while ordinary people lived in poverty.
"Explain to us, please, how we are supposed to live, and how we should explain to our children each day that there is no money and nothing to eat. If the government wants to kill off our families, then just say so. We will seek all opportunities to saves ourselves without your help. We are responsible people — first and foremost before our own children — and we want to ensure them a worthy life," the letter read.
"Prices in stores climb by 10 rubles every night — on every product. We can't even think about new clothes, the most vital appliances or toys for our children — that's all a luxury now," the letter said.
The news comes amid rising prices on food and increased inflation as Russia fights off the effects of the plummeting price of oil and Western sanctions imposed in connection with the Ukraine crisis.
In 2014, inflation was 11.4 percent — the highest it has been since 2008 — and it is expected to climb further.
The Economic Development Ministry last week warned that food prices could climb 24 percent by the summer, RBC reported at the time.
