The political situation in Ukraine and abroad — Политическая ситуация в Украине и за рубежом

The grave economic crisis in Ukraine greatly influences the political situation in this country. The Ukrainian society, nowadays is split into those who believe that the economic reforms must be continued and those who think that their course must be changed. Many politicians criticize the Ukrainian Government for its inability to solve the urgent economic problems among which are the rise of unemployment, the delay of wage payments and the falling of industrial and agricultural production. Another problem that splits the Ukrainian society is whether to develop more close relations with the West European countries or with the Russian Federation and other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The newspapers are also discussing the reforms of the education system and the public health services. Nowadays, many political parties hold their congresses to discuss the current political situation and to nominate their candidates for forthcoming elections. The Russian mass

media also report on the work of the Verkhovna Rada and the Government. They also inform about the visit of the Russian President to any country and the official negotiations with the political leaders of this country. Every evening our family watch TV news — we want to know what events are taking place at home and abroad. At present, there are several hot points in the world: the civil wars rage in Angola, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. The heavy battles are reported in Angola and in Afghanistan: many refugees flee from the regions of conflict to the neighboring countries every day. There are also reports about terrorist attacks which have taken place recently in Northern Ireland, in Chechnya and in the Middle East: Arab terrorists exploded several bombs in public places in Israel. The mass media report also the further integration of the European countries which have already had common currency — the Euro. The political situation in the present-day world is, sometimes, very dramatic but I believe that the mankind is steadily moving towards a better future.

Политическая ситуация в Украине
и за рубежом

Серьезный экономический кризис в Украине очень влияет на политическую ситуацию в ней. Украинское общество сейчас делится на тех, кто верит, что экономические реформы должны быть продолжены, и на тех, кто считает, что этот курс должен быть изменен. Многие политики критикуют украинское правительство по его неспособность решать неотложные экономические проблемы, среди которых — рост безработица, задержка заработной платы и снижение промышленного и сельскохозяйственного производства. Другая проблема, что разделяет украинское общество,- развивать более тесные связи с европейскими странами или с Русским Федерацией и другими странами Содружества Независимых Государств (СНГ). Газеты также обсуждают реформы систем образования и охраны здоровья. Сегодня много политических партий проводят свои съезды, чтобы обсудить текущую политическую ситуацию и выдвинуть своих кандидатов на следующих выборах. Украинские средства массовой информации рассказывают о работу Верховной Рады и правительства. Они также информируют о визите украинского президента в какую-нибудь страну и про официальные переговоры с политическими лидерами этой страны. Каждый вечер наша семья смотрит телевизионные новости — мы хотим знать, какие события происходят в стране и за рубежом. Сейчас в мире существует несколько горячих точек: гражданские войны бушуют в Анголе, Афганистане и Югославии. Сообщают о тяжелых боях в Анголе и Афганистане; ежедневно много беженцев бегут из очагов конфликта в соседние страны. Есть также сообщения о террористических актах, которые были недавно в Северной Ирландии, в Чечне и на Ближнем Востоке: арабские террористы взорвали несколько бомб в общественных местах в Израиле. Средства массовой информации также сообщают о дальнейшую интеграцию европейских стран, которые уже имеют общую валюту — евро. Политическая ситуация в мире сейчас очень драматическая, но я верю, что человечество постепенно движется к лучшему будущему.

Політична ситуація в Україні і за кордоном

Серйозна економічна криза в Україні дуже впливає на політичну ситуацію в ній. Українське суспільство зараз поділяється на тих, хто вірить, що економічні реформи повинні бути продовжені, і на тих, хто вважає, що цей курс повинний бути змінений. Багато політиків критикують український уряд за його нездатність вирішувати невідкладні економічні проблеми, серед яких — ріст безробіття, затримка заробітної плати і зниження промислового і сільськогосподарського виробництва. Інша проблема, що розділяє українське суспільство,- розвивати більш тісні зв’язки з європейськими країнами чи з Російською Федерацією й іншими країнами Співдружності Незалежних Держав (СНД). Газети також обговорюють реформи систем освіти й охорони здоров’я. Сьогодні багато політичних партій проводять свої з’їзди, щоб обговорити поточну політичну ситуацію і висунути своїх кандидатів на наступних виборах. Українські засоби масової інформації розповідають про роботу Верховної Ради й уряду. Вони також інформують про візит українського президента в яку-не-будь країну і про офіційні переговори з політичними лідерами цієї країни. Щовечора наша родина дивиться телевізійні новини — ми хочемо знати, які події відбуваються в країні і за кордоном. Зараз у світі існує кілька гарячих точок: громадянські війни бушують в Анголі, Афганістані й Югославії. Повідомляють про важкі бої в Анголі й Афганістані; щодня багато біженців тікають із вогнищ конфлікту в сусідні країни. Є також повідомлення про терористичні акти, що були недавно в Північній Ірландії, у Чечні і на Близькому Сході: арабські терористи підірвали кілька бомб у громадських місцях в Ізраїлі. Засоби масової інформації також повідомляють про подальшу інтеграцію європейських країн, що вже мають загальну валюту — євро. Політична ситуація у світі зараз дуже драматична, але я вірю, що людство поступово рухається до кращого майбутнього.
