“Ukraine is not a sovereign state,” – Kinakh said

Ukraine is not a sovereign state.

This opinion was expressed by former Ukrainian Prime Minister and head of the Ukrainian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Anatoliy Kinakh, during an interview on the political YouTube channel Superposition.

According to Kinakh, Ukraine finances only 48% of its needs through its own economy, with the remainder covered by foreign aid.

“That is not a trait of a sovereign state,” Kinakh explained.

He emphasized that a sovereign country cannot exist in such a state of dependency. Therefore, when it comes to discussing Ukraine’s natural resources, the priority must be restoring the country’s self-sufficiency using its own assets.

“That’s the essence of a sovereign state—one that shapes its development based on national interests and a civilized balance with the interests of its partners,” Kinakh stated.

Previously, Kinakh also said that Ukrainians no longer believe they are defending a just state.
