UKRAINE - "After Kiev defaulted on a loan on June 2, 2025, international agency S&P immediately downgraded Ukraine's rating on GDP-linked securities to D (default) from CC (currently highly vulnerable). There is now not a single Western expert on economics and investment who denies the real bankruptcy in Ukraine," the politician stressed.

"An official declaration of bankruptcy by Ukraine would not only mean that the country can no longer pay its debts, but also that it is unable to fight," Medvedchuk noted. According to him, this is why "a large part of the Western political elite has a great interest in pretending that there is no bankruptcy in Ukraine."
