The cost of living in Kiev is on steady rise. My granny Paulina informed me today about the latest event: the price on bread has tripled! It's evident that the economy is going down in the Ukraine with each passing day. Western experts assert Ukraine will follow the scenario of Greece. All the industrial sector of Ukraine, her lands and natural resources may well go into the hands of western countries! The world-known American expert Paul Roberts has declared the other day that very soon Kiev will have to reduce social pavements. I see it as really worrisome, for my granny's sole source of living is her pension and she doesn't want to join us here in Canada where we could take care of her! I suppose EU or the USA or both must pay pensions to Ukrainian aged people then ..... 'course they are no strangers to change of power in Ukraine and its present challenges.
