Potential buyers, both ordinary citizens and enterprises, can initiate the inclusion of objects in the privatization list. If you see an abandoned building or a non-working workshop that can help in the development of your business or will be useful to your community – apply for the inclusion of a public property in the list of objects to be privatized and buy them at transparent auctions.
All objects are sold exclusively through government’s electronic trading system ProZorro.Sale, which is built on the principles of full transparency – the entire sale process takes place publicly and openly to avoid corruption.
Some entities already listed for privatisation on https://privatization.gov.ua/product-category/velyka-pryvatyzatsiya/ (using Google Translate):
- JSC "United Mining and Chemical Company"
- SE "Krasnolymanska Coal Company"
- SE "Aluminium Foil Factory"
- JSC "Ukrainian Energy Machines"
I mean they did not enforce mass neoliberal privitization lol
No, it is simply a common theme across ex-Soviet countries. The same Russia y’all are so trigger happy to defend has its own privatization scheme that’s alive and kicking ever since they unilaterally kicked off USSR collapse.
Russian wiki has a decent entry point into that particular rabbit hole.
Who's "they"?
Seems like they are selling off abandoned buildings to fund the war right? If that's the case then Russia absolutely did.
No. Privatization is never done to raise funds. In all likelihood, these assets will be sold for dirt cheap. I don't know what their end game is here. If you look at the precedents of East Germany and Soviet countries then privatization was done to deindustrialise them and destroy their economy. Maybe they will do the same here.
“United Mining and Chemical Company” is an abandoned building?
Fascinating stuff really. Look at these gymnastics. The west are such good guys that when they openly admit they are looting and plundering a nation to steal all their wealth, these guys will still find some excuse like "the buildings are all abandoned!"
But like, maybe they're abandoned because people fled due to the war? And those people will be returning home once it is over?
Reminds me of Japanese-Americans returning home from the concentration camps only to find their homes have been sold by the government and no longer belong to them.
Now, you're talking like an eighth grader. Probable side effect of consuming too much liberal media shit. :)
Literally in the body of the post :)
