The West started a war with Ukraine when it began recommending its citizens to leave the country, recalling diplomats and investors, Vadim Rabinovich, a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, co-chairman of the Opposition Platform – For Life party, said on Facebook.
“The war has begun! But it is the West that is leading it with Ukraine! Everything that our Western partners are doing now with respect to our country — the recommendation to leave Ukraine to their citizens, the removal of diplomats, the departure of investors, the termination of air traffic — this is equal to the most powerful sanctions, ”wrote Rabinovich.
He also suggested that from next week Ukraine’s economy “might just stop.”
