And in the meantime, the largest in Europe, the Lvov factory for the production of buses, has completely stopped.

Don't splatter it on the walls like he does. Really, here in the west public masturbation is considered indecent.

Not even close to the largest factory of any kind in Europe. Maybe in the 80s but nobody cares anymore, lots of Communist factories are obsolete as they became privatized. The Lvov factory was operating on a slim margin since the 2007 crisis and from what I've heard was owned by Russians and finally lost its last contracts when the anti corruption purges hit Ukraine. Imagine that, corrupt Russians making deals for city busses...There are factories booming in Kharkov and KRAZ is doing well among others. Pretty much anywhere away from the Russian/Donbas border business is moving along.

A similar factory shut down in Czechia about 7 years ago. That's part of joining the modern world and getting rid of bloated noncompetetive factories. Don't worry about Lvov, there are loads of new construction going on and they have a growing IT services sector.

Here is what they are building instead of Stalinist steel plants:

Well now the Ukrainians will be forced to buy European buses eh? Konstantine over at Kraz isn't going to even try to compete.

When those punks said this was a "civilizational choice" they were just worried about getting a bigger cut of the loot damn all. They sold that and are investing it not in Ukraine but abroad because Ukraine is so bad off it isn't going to ever come around.

No they are buying LAZ busses again after the corruption probe. They started shifting production to Bulgaria in 2012. So it was already planned to close this factory before Putin's invasion. But that doesn't stop his propagandists from making false claims on here about it. Investment is flowing into Lvov, and from what I've seen Odessa (you can see a lot of buildings going up near the beaches there). Nobody will be pouring money into factories further east. The threat of Putin's thugs stealing it is still a factor. How about the train car factory in Luhansk? That actually did close because of Putin's war. Another issue is the idiots in Ukraine blockading the Donbas which hurts both sides.

DKM is correct. The plant in Lvov has been non functional since at least 2014 if not longer. Can't find much. Got any more DKM?

Not sure about that one.
Because according to M. Azarov, ( former Prime Minister of Ukraine, from Yanukovich cabinet, ( Party of Regions) LAZ "COMPLETELY ceased to operate" only few days ago.
They say here ( on Ukrainian site) that Azarov posted it on his FB page.
I found his FB account ( it has a lot of interesting information BTW,) I just don't have time right now to find that particular statement ( about LAZ)

I still get the impression its not going so grreat in Ukriane. It's becoming a colony of Europe and its all to do with how its been so poorly managed by the politcians for decades. Porkochunko is not totally to blame, you can spread that blame far, wide and thick
