The deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, has commented on yesterday’s meeting between Ursula von der Leyen and Vladimir Zelensky on Ukraine’s economic prospects. According to Medvedev, while the Kiev regime, backed by the West, is fighting Russia to “victory”, the economy of Little Russia is turning into a “stinking chaff”.

Ukraine’s economy is rapidly turning into “stinking rotten wood,” according to Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.
“So far, the Kiev regime, supported by its Western handlers, is fighting Russia “until victory”, and the economy of this unhappy territory is rapidly turning into a stinking cinder. This is openly said even in those countries that promise the Ukrainian regime recovery and eternal European love,” he wrote in his TG-channel.
Medvedev cited figures, citing Goldman Sachs, according to which Ukraine has now lost the territories that provided it with about 40% of its national industrial potential and about 15% of its pre-war GDP.
“It no longer has access to over $12 trillion worth of mineral reserves. Including 63% of coal deposits and 42% of metals. Agriculture is flying into the abyss on all fumes,” Medvedev said.
Medvedev also said the harvest has fallen sharply.
“Wheat: 19.4 million tonnes in 2022 versus 32.5 million in 2021. Maize: 18.4 million tonnes to 35.1 million. Secondly, overland routes through Poland and Romania have increased transport costs by a factor of 2 to 3,” he wrote.
