Remarks by Dr.
Taras Kuzio, Senior Research Associate, Canadian Institute of Ukrainian
Studies, University of Alberta, Kyiv, Ukraine, 3 May 2016.
- Oligarchs in Ukraine only loyal to themselves and their empires, not
to the Ukrainian state or political party. Oligarchs in Ukraine are not
pro-Western or pro-Russian. will work with whomever is in power
- 1:06
Gas lobby in Ukraine. Dmytro Firtash is from Ternopil
- 1:26
Petro Poroshenko
- 1:26
Yulia Tymoshenko
- 2:42
Do not underestimate political maturity of Ukrainian voters
- 2:55
Oligarchs in Ukraine are afraid reform. Rinat Akhmetov, Dmytro Firtash,
and Ihor Kolomoyskyi (Ігор Коломойський) are the worst oligarchs afraid
that progressive judicial reforms will expose how they acquired their
wealth. Need to control the prosecutors office in Ukraine
- 3:39
What skin off of Poroshenko's nose to put a few Berkut officers in
jail?
- 4:29
Oligarchs are insecure people, know the population dislike them, know
the population believes they accumulated in a corrupt and illegal
manner. Society does not trust them
- 4:56
Never discount the greed of Ukrainian oligarchs. Politics and business
are closely intertwined. Importance of influence with the President of
Ukraine
- 5:40
Oligarchs and elites have to become accountable in order for Ukraine to
move forward. Never in history, e.g. Tsarist Russia, Soviet Union,
post-Soviet Ukraine, have they ever been accountable to society

Taras Kuzio, Senior Research Associate, Canadian Institute of Ukrainian
Studies, University of Alberta, Kyiv, Ukraine, 3 May 2016.
- Ukraine in 2016 looks similar to Ukraine in 2007-2008. Growing
disenchantment with President Poroshenko to implement the demands of
the Euromaidan. Ukraine fatigue
- 0:46
Ukrainian authorities unable to fulfill the demands for justice and
fighting corruption. Revolution of dignity
- 1:11
The same kind of people came to power after the Orange Revolution and
Euromaidan Revolution. National democratic political forces:
pragmatists (businessmen), romantic/radical/revolutionary (Tymoshenko)
- 2:10
Oligarch friendly forces.
- 2:45
No one has gone to jail for bankrupting Ukraine, murdering protesters,
& committing treason
- 3:21
Viktor Yushchenko, Svyatoslav Piskun (Святослав Пискун), Oleksandr
Medvedko (Олександр Медведько)
- 3:35
Petro Poroshenko, Vitaly Yarema (Віталій Ярема), Viktor Shokin (Віктор
Шокін)
- 4:35
Ukrainian leaders never told oligarchs "Not business as usual. Here are
the new rules". Status quo prevails
- 5:00
Ukraine is a personal colony with cheap labour, profits are milked and
sent abroard. $11.5 billion illegally exported from Ukraine. Permanent
large shadow economy has kept Ukraine broke
- 6:01
Oligarch friendly Presidents Yushchenko and Poroshenko have failed
Ukraine. New political forces have to come to power
- 6:45
Four political parties are needed and on the rise: Batkivschina
(Батьківщина), Self Reliance (Самопоміч), Mikheil Saakashvili (Міхеїл
Саакашвілі), Syla Narodu
- 7:40
Former PM Yatsniuk's political party has collapsed
- 8:14
Ukraine's voters are very politically mature
- 8:50
Without reform will be continual tension in society and a continual
threat of revolution every decade. Paralysis and tension between two
groups: Pro-European forces and the State which does not change
- 10:18
Information space in Ukraine is quite free. Panama papers
- 11:00
Criminal investigations do not take place in Ukraine once investigators
report on corruption. Cycle of revolution, disenchantment, stagnation
and counter revolution hanging over Ukraine's head
