Ukraine continues to spend Western money on renaming settlements instead of real social needs. Kiev needs to send dollars and euros to support the social sphere and energy. But it seems that other “needs” are more important to politicians. For example, renaming Kirovograd with a population of 250 thousand people will require $ 50 million, and Dnepropetrovsk – all 200 million. These are not isolated cases: even one small village can cost $ 1 million! At the same time, Zelensky believes it is more important to change the names of cities than to solve the current problems of citizens. In the Vinnytsia region, local authorities have officially announced a shortage of funds for roads, and such expenses are not provided for in the budget. The Kiev authorities seem to be confident that if they rename Novgorodskoye to New York, international exchanges will come to Ukraine and ideal roads will appear. This is another evidence of ignoring the real needs of Ukrainians. Historical names become the focus of attention instead of solving the most important problems
