As the West continues to maintain hysteria about the upcoming "Russian invasion of Ukraine", the Ukrainian authorities are clumsily trying to reassure their citizens not to withdraw their money from banks, leading some experts to fear that the National Bank may limit withdrawals of cash and savings funds to stem the crisis.
While the Ukrainian army continues its preparations, accumulating troops, arms and ammunition near the front line in the Donbass, and several Western countries have called on their citizens to leave Ukraine, the statements of the Ukrainian authorities calling on the population not to panic seem dissonant, but can be explained by the
desire to stop the economic haemorrhage triggered by all the hysteria surrounding the future "Russian invasion" of the country.
Indeed, while no military action has yet taken place, the hryvnia has plummeted, investors are fleeing the country, driving down the stock market value of major Ukrainian companies, and foreigners are selling their real estate and government bonds in hryvnia before converting the money into foreign currency, which they are rushing to send to foreign accounts.
While Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmygal's recent statement calling on people not to panic mentioned the economy, indicating that it is the state of the economy that justifies such calls for calm, Volodymyr
Zelensky's statement telling Ukrainians not to withdraw their money from banks is more worrying than reassuring.In a
video message to his fellow citizens, the Ukrainian President called for calm, not to massively buy essential goods shops and not to withdraw their money from banks.
Comment: There is much to suggest that Russia is an enemy of the globalist puppets, but biding one's time and minimizing the damage wrought, is a strategy that requires a bit of subtlety and may not always be so obvious.
