UKRAINE: FROM PAST TO FUTURE
In
1991 Ukrainians made a conscious choice in favour of an independent Ukraine.
Nowadays it is very important to take advantage of an opportunity to build a
new country, a democratic and sovereign Ukraine, a Ukraine of the future. We
should try to reform our state for the sake of the country of this type.
Ukraine
is not a political novice on the international arena. We were one of the co-founders
of the UN. We have successfully integrated ourselves into many international
structures like the Council of Europe the OSCE and the WTO. At the same time,
we continue to look for a good security model to protect our country and our
citizens. Resolving national security issue and fighting against foreign
aggression will be some of our key tasks in the future.
Another
important factor to our success is related to building a democratic society, in
which government and common people are dedicated to some fundamental principles
– the rule of law, openness and transparency. We need to have an agreement
about the kind of future we want for Ukraine. Young or old, Ukrainian-speaking
or Russian-speaking, Hutsuls or Tatars may have very different attitudes. However,
we need to come together as a nation to overcome many problems that we faced
after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Modern
Ukraine can offer a lot to the world. It has a large territory and one of the
largest populations among European countries. There are many examples of
success in farming, business and tourism. According to one ranking, our country
is 33rd in the world for the IT start-ups at the moment. We have something to
be proud of and need to keep moving forward.
What
is more, we need to create a society where members not only enjoy their rights,
but takes responsibility for their house, their town and their country. We
should not expect that somebody will fix our problems, but should focus on what
we can do for ourselves and build a Ukraine of the future today.

BREXIT: FACTS AND NUMBERS
On
23 June 2016 Great Britain voted to leave the European Union – a partnership
that allows people and products to move freely around the EU member states.
This result was a surprise for people on both sides of the vote. Over 30
million UK citizens took part in this referendum, so the turnout was pretty
high – about 71.8%. A majority of British voters (around 52%) voted to leave
the EU. However, there were differences across the country. For example, Scotland
and Northern Ireland wanted to remain in the EU while Wales and England voted
to leave it. As a result of the referendum, British Prime Minister David
Cameron decided to resign.
For
the time being it is diff cult to say how the Brexit vote will influence British
politics and economy. British citizens may face some restrictions when living
in the EU. EU citizens may need a work permit to work in the UK. The situation
will depend on the agreement between the UK and EU. It is possible, for
example, that British and EU citizens will be allowed to visit each other for
up to 90 days without needing a visa.
It
is important to remember that the UK did not formally leave the EU after the
Brexit referendum. The country prepares to leave the EU on 29 March 2019. At
the moment British politicians are discussing the details of this event with
their European counterparts. The situation is changing very quickly, so it is
important to check for the latest updates in the news.
