Kolomoisky’s comments to the FT are irresponsible and “raise a catastrophic threat to our economy and even, as a consequence, the risk of a loss of statehood,” Hanna Hopko, head of the Rada’s foreign affairs committee, wrote Sunday on Facebook. A default would send the exchange rate over 50 hryvnia to the dollar and would send the economy into “the deepest hole for a long time.” Unlike Greece which was bailed out by the EU, and unlike Argentina, which is often bailed out by the US, the only country that would “extend the hand to help” Ukraine would be Russia, she said.
