COUNTRY REPORT - UKRAINE
2022 APRIL QUARTERLY ISSUE
Written by Andrew Sia
Like many of us today in the world, we feel angry and helpless at this moment with the war that Russia raised at its neighboring country, Ukraine, who is so helpless. But under their leadership of President Zelensky, the country is showing the bravery to resist the Russian army and the mercenaries which is admired by the world.
I came across a list of facts and figures about Ukraine and I decided to make a report of the country. Unfortunately that all these information are changing before our eyes as the Russian armies have destroyed a very big part of them.
It makes me more angry at this critical moment to find Putin enforced the censorship for the media in Russia by denouncing the invasion into its neighbor as war. Any violation will result 15 years of imprisonment. Putin has been in power for 22 years and he hasn’t been easy with Ukraine after they have gained their independence in 1991. And eight years ago he took the Crimea Peninsula from Ukraine which remained as a disputed area since then.
My report which I took from Statista, a service that I subscribed, which has been very useful. I would like to show to the readers the kind of country Ukraine was. We pray that the war will be stopped soon and peace and justice being restored to this country. I am surprised to find so many foreign direct investment in the country and also to find that the country can feed 600 million people with their agricultural products.
