MP Dubinsky is convinced that Ukraine’s signing of a new Memorandum with the International Monetary Fund will lead to a complete loss of autonomy. The people of Ukraine will no longer rule their country, the IMF will do it for us.

He has published the draft Memorandum, which will be signed after finalizing a new loan agreement with the IMF under the stand by program for a total amount of $ 5 billion. The first tranche is expected to be $ 1.9 billion. The sums of subsequent payments are not specified. It is not known whether any will even follow. Indeed, as the history of relations between our country and the IMF shows Ukraine often receives only the first tranche and does not receive anything further, despite fulfilling a considerable list of conditions.

The requirements are comprehensible and influence all aspects of people's lives and the country's economy. The Memorandum contains a lot of details people, undoubtedly, should know about. The signatories of the document in the name of Ukrainian people make many promises that limit the freedoms of the citizens and their well-being.

1. The restrictions on increasing utility prices for the general public are canceled. Rising energy prices on world markets will increase the costs for Ukrainians.

2. The pension reform will continue, which, as stated directly in the document, should lead to an increase in the retirement age in Ukraine. Also, the country commits itself not to introduce new social pensions and benefits. And surcharges in relation to the experience, age, harmful production, etc. will be reduced.

3. Medical reform will continue according to the plan of the former Minister of Health Suprun. “Statements that the implementation of the next stage of the medical reform will be delayed are nonsensical,” Alexander Dubinsky says.

The document states that the Ministry of Health will conduct centralized procurement of medicines through the state-owned enterprises “Medical Procurement of Ukraine” via ProZorro. “This means that Soros minions will continue to control government spending on medicine. The number of medical facilities and beds will be reduced, which, undoubtedly, affects the health of the nation” Dubinsky says.

4. As soon as the crisis is over, Ukraine promises to accelerate the reform of education. According to the document, it will be expressed in the reduction of the school network for primary and secondary education.

The same principle as in medicine will be introduced - the money supposedly will go to the student. This, as is evident from medical reform, will result in the closure of less popular universities and schools.

“This approach will lead to the exclusion of young people from the higher education system. This is intellectual genocide. Apparently, Ukrainian youth does not need education. Nobody needs this. The only aspiration for them is to work on foreign farms. This is what they want to achieve,” Dubinsky says.

5. Responsibility of the National Bank for the closure of banks and the theft of assets of problem banks will be nonexistent. The Memorandum states that these people cannot be fired. This will apply to those who were appointed to the National Bank under President Petro Poroshenko and participated in the closure of 100 banks and the destruction of the Ukrainian financial market.

“The document declares that all those who helped plunder the deposits of hundreds of thousands of depositors of Ukrainian banks and at the same time laundered the assets of these structures through the Deposit Guarantee Fund untouchable. It is impossible to fire them all. Soros minions will continue to run everything. And the people of Poroshenko who robbed our banking system will not be held responsible. They will continue to rob, without any responsibility for their actions. And depositors of problem banks will be left without money” Dubinsky emphasizes.

6. The National Bank pledged to maintain inflation at 5%, preventing the influx of money into the economy. This means that no significant growth of GDP in Ukraine is to be expected.

7. Reform of the management of state-owned banks will result in even greater dependence from supervisory boards. They want to form Supervisory Boards with foreigners in order to closely monitor the development of the banking sector of Ukraine more than 60% of which are comprised of state-owned banks. The foreigners will decide which projects to finance in our country.

8. The fight against corruption. The document has been drafted in a way that the criminal head of NABU Artyom Sytnik, accused of corruption crime, could not be removed from his post. And so that the Ukrainian politicians could be manipulated by criminal cases for any criticism of the protégés of foreign states.

“We are told unequivocally that the law on the dismissal of corrupt officials that MP Kachura and I introduced cannot be passed. These “puppet” corrupt officials of the IMF will be used to punish those whomever “the West” wants,” Alexander Dubinsky explains.

But they allowed putting pressure on the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, which is not controlled by foreigners.

9. The IMF wants to control the High Council of Justice, the body that coordinates and appoints judges in Ukraine. Foreigners want to control the appointment of judges in our country, which are not only law enforcement agencies, but also the judicial authorities.

10. Ukraine has pledged to apply a gas pricing market scheme without any maximal limit of the price. There can be any gas price for the general public starting July 1, 2020.

“This means that there will be no special (subsidized) gas prices for the general public. Everything will be completely determined by the market until the energy companies are fully reimbursed. And the cost of the resource will be determined according to European prices plus the cost of delivery to Ukraine and customs clearance. And the main nonsense is that our country fully covers the needs of the general public and even partially industrial needs with Ukrainian gas. The cost of Ukrainian production is about $ 40 per thousand cubic meters, and people at the peak of a rise in price are forced to pay $ 250. This means that consuming our cheaper gas, we pay for it as much as if we bought it in the Netherlands on the exchange and delivered to Ukraine, and even cleared it,” Dubinsky emphasizes.

11. Starting October 1, Ukraine has pledged to make heating tariffs market-based. This means that they will be increased. At the same time, our country undertook to review (raise) tariffs every year before the start of the heating season.

It is quite obvious that with the current income level Ukrainians will not pay for the utilities. In order to get people to pay for the heating, an obligation was written into the IMF Memorandum - to develop “tools that will ensure collection of payments through high fines and simplified enforcement”.

“This means that at first there will be a high penalty for utility fees. And if a person is not able to pay, the property will be arrested and auctioned off to pay bills. Collectors will confiscate the property of communal debtors” MP Aleksandr Dubinsky states.

12. Ukraine has pledged to further explore the possibilities of land reform and expand its application. Priorities in this regard have already been announced, and they are clear: raise the bar for the sale of more than 1000 hectares per person and allow foreigners to buy allotments.

13. The sale of large state-owned enterprises at a cheap price, even at the peak of the crisis. This includes the large ones like Centroenergo or Odesa Port Plant, a monopolist in the production of nitrogen fertilizers.

14. Implementation of international practices that will be introduced by foreigners in the Antimonopoly Committee. So this body will also be under external control.

“There is only one conclusion - the external governance of Ukraine will only be aggravated. They will always tell us how to do things right. Nobody wants to see our country as strong and independent. We are needed as a market for foreign goods and as a supplier of unskilled labor. That's all there is to it,” Dubinsky sums up.
