Will Foreign Business Activity in Ukraine die out with Timoshenko?

[Markus]

Hello! As you can see from the header I’m an entrepreneur with my core business in Ukraine. I need to admit that profitability of business in that country highly depends on political circumstances. I noticed that when Yilia Timoshenko became Prime Minister it got harder to be running business in Ukraine. It’s all that because with Timoshenko you can’t be sure of anything. Now she promises to cut taxes, now people begin to say Timoshenko is going to raise gas prices for home end users. In general, mere populism and deception of the nation. You can never be sure what to expect from Timoshenko. I just cannot think what’s going to be in case she is elected. I’m too agitated and fear that will have to close up my business there in case she wins.

Can you give specifics or are you going to keep speaking in generalitites? Specifically what did Yulia do that caused you any problems or changes?

I find it interesting that you've been a member since 2004 and you've made 4 posts. Why?

maybe a spammer or maybe someone who doesnt speak english and just wants to get the word out would be my guess.

I dont think he is going to come back. But maybe he will.

That was my guess. A 'hidden' mole waiting to make a post then vanish. Amazingly similar to other "one post wonders" that appear here from time to time. I sometimes call them "drive by's" also.

It'd be interesting to know if their ISP is the same as the others.

there was this guy who would stop in from time to time and had the name of a Hindu spirtual title or maybe sikh spirtual title and posted stuff but never responded. What he posted was interesting, but he never responded.

Volodya (V-G) knows

Ohh boy, how come we have all these "business owners" coming to this site and saying how Yulia is so bad. She must be doing something right, the number of "entrepreneurs" just shoots up during election time. lol

You are an impostor or a spammer and never ran a business
