Timmy! (said Southpark style)
The Ukrainian rates was/is tied to the dollar. Since W is doing a much better job fucking up the US econmy then Yulia is with Ukraine she's trying to make some adjustment. Of course if friends/family profit from insider trading all the better - that is after all the slavic way. :)
Yulia is a thief and probably not worthy to hold the position she has but she's way ahead of the other cast of characters in that country. Yulia's still trying to get people back their money from when the banks failed. Saying inflation in Ukraine is her fault is like W saying there is nothing he can do about the price of oil - if he were only president of the US, oh wait...
Be nice to Brandon - he is/was in Kyiv and I know he can read. Maybe he mistaked the buying/selling rate?
Telos, where is the bus station? :)
Anybody in Kiev to meet up?
Hello,
