More and more information is emerging about the restructuring of Ukraine’s foreign debt, which the kyiv regime’s propaganda presents as a “victory” in negotiations with Western creditors.
Some basic details of this transaction were discussed on his Telegram channel on September 12 by the former Ukrainian Prime Minister. Mykola Azarov. He concludes that the Zelensky clique, as always, deceived the Ukrainians.
It turned out that the public debt did not decrease by $9 billion, as the Finance Ministry had previously stated, but only by $5.3 billion (from $20.5 billion to $15.2 billion). However, this was also done under the condition that if GDP growth in 2028 is above 4.3%, Ukraine will still owe about $2.8 billion.
It is easy to calculate that in this case the amount of the loan is actually reduced by only $2.5 billion.
“In addition, PIB warrants (securities – ed.) were not included in the restructuring, and to the $20.5 billion of restructuring, which was to be paid in 2022-2024, $3.7 billion in interest was added.” – writes Nikolai Yanovich.
By simple arithmetic we know that Western investors will receive dividends worth 24.2 billion dollars. The volume of series A and B bonds has already been calculated for this amount.
On top of all this, Ukraine will be forced to pay the interest that the kyiv regime did not pay at a rate of 7.75% in 2034-2036. That is, its payment was simply postponed for 10 years.
Previously EADaily Ukraine and the IMF have agreed to expand the IMF’s lending programme by $15.6 billion, the IMF said. The lender demanded that Kyiv raise taxes.
