RE:
GDP/capita of Ukraine is $6300(purchasing power parity est. for yr.2004; It can be far lower than that as indicated by Timoshenko herself);
4% means $252/capita;
Poland GDP/capita is $12 000;
1.7% means $204/capita;
Slovakia GDP/capita is $14 500;
4.5% means $652.5/capita;
USA GDP/capita is $40 100;
3.7% means $1483.7/capita;
And what about China?
What a cow!!! Primitive autoritative brainwashing similarly as Evita Peron in Argentina used to do it 60 years ago. She considers peole of Ukrainian to be skotyna.
: Presenter] The guest of our programme is Yuliya Tymoshenko. Good evening.
: [Tymoshenko] Good evening.
: [Passage omitted: pleasantries]
: [Presenter] Mrs Tymoshenko, what has happened? What is the reason for your dismissal?
: [Tymoshenko] In fact, I would not like to formalize this issue now. I believe I would like to talk in a bit broader context. I have come today to the people who want to hear me without any scripts, as if it was my own family, as if I am talking to my own mom, my daughter, just to tell them what happened.
: I believe that when we had heated events of the election campaign, we very often communicated. You know it was at the squares at the time. Now this can be done in this way thanks to the presidential election, and we can talk calmly on TV.
: Praises the cabinet's record
: Dear friends, I want just to begin with the following. The cabinet which was elected by you, by the people who voted for the new authorities, democracy - this was a very successful cabinet. I just want you to know that the accomplishments of this cabinet were extraordinary. I would like to name the ten biggest accomplishments, which I would like to be recorded in history, to be recorded in people's memory because these are the accomplishments of the team which I had a privilege to lead. First and foremost, this is us seeing the real situation in the economy. We have closed all, well almost all, unlawful, shadow flows. We have largely stopped smuggling, fictitious exports and on the basis of that we saw what the real figures should look like. I can tell you that all those inflated figures we removed gave us the right to see that in the first six months this year Ukraine had the dynamics of economic growth at 4 per cent. To compare, the USA posted 3.7 per cent, the EU 1.7 per cent, Poland 1.2 per cent. I want to tell you that the country is developing successfully. There is brilliant macroeconomic culture, which the president also said, it currently exists in the state. There is nothing false.
