Betrayal

"Betrayal" is the only word to describe the deal cooked up between the US and Germany behind the backs of Ukraine and everyone else on Nord Stream 2. The Russian-Germany pipeline will get built after the US dropped sanctions, while Ukraine gets no real guarantees on the security or energy front. Angela Merkel is also Ukraine's foe of the week, although Joe Biden is a close second. Star columnist Sergii Leshchenko analyzes events. Also: -- Dmytro Sologub, the central bank reformer who is leaving the institution, tells the Kyiv Post that all is not well under the National Bank of Ukraine led by Kyrylo Shevchenko. -- Ukraine's trade dependency on autocratic nations such as China, Russia and Belarus puts it in difficult spots with the West. -- ProZorro may be gone soon, along with transparent and competitive purchases that the online bidding platform introduced. -- Will reform of the Security Service of Ukraine really happen? -- Time runs out for IMF agreement. And more!
