According to the expert, one of the key words for Ukraine and Ukrainians in the near future is uncertainty, as we are currently at a historical crossroads, at a bifurcation point, facing a variety of options for future development.

“This could be a project of final amortization of the residual potential we have – social, economic, demographic potential. Given that this potential was enormous, the amortization could continue for quite a while in our lifetime. So, it will be a gradual decline. This could also be a development project, but one that, for instance, may not please us in 20 years. For example, it could be South Korea in Eastern Europe, or it could be Eastern European Pattaya,” reflects Aleksey Kusch.

If we talk about different projects, he adds, we should not focus solely on markets, or else we might end up in geopolitical schizophrenia, where you are friends with those you do not trade with, and trade with those you are not friends with. Indeed, the guest of the program notes that allied states are closely and economically connected; for instance, after the war, Germany became the largest partner of the USA, similar to Japan or South Korea, even though this did not prevent them from trading with China.

“You should not just close yourself off and say that it must be this way and no other, because that leads to geopolitical schizophrenia. Our largest geopolitical ally is the USA, with which we have meager trade volumes and almost no economic relations. Britain is considered one of our most prestigious patrons, yet our economic ties with them are even less than with the USA. If this is happening, it means there is a mistake somewhere,” explains Aleksey Kusch.
