No, I am saying this situation is not a big deal. Russians always try to amplify a potential problem there. But it doesn't work anymore. Ze already accepted an apology over his resignation. Nice try, better luck next time. With their economy at an all time high and still growing, it's really hard to spin lies to people about economic problems. That's the issue Warren and Bernie are having here.

Nice spin DKM, but no, that's not what it's all about.
Goncharuk was not even supposed to submit his resignation to Zelensky, but to Rada ( where it should have been considered within 10 days.)
The reason he submitted it to Zelensky, is because everyone basically understands by now, that after the acknowledgment of the "top economists" of their own incompetence, they are sending Zelensky a clear message "but you know who REALLY put us here and why. Now decide for yourself, - are you going to comply or not.")
Although Russian news are catching up with this growing scandal, I don't think that Russians care either way.
They have their own events to follow - with the dismissal of the government, upcoming changes in Constitution and the rest.
But me personally - yes, I keep on watching what's going on in both places, in the US, in Europe AND in the Middle East.
P.S. I am actually reconsidering by now my initial assessment of the changes that took place in Russia with dismissal of the government.
"Placing the Trident #Tryzub, constitutional national symbol&Coat of Arms of #Ukraine, in Extremism Guide produced by @TerrorismPolice for UK teachers&medical staff is beyond outrageous. No explanations acceptable. We demand Trident to be removed from Guide with official apologies" https://twitter.com/UkrEmbLondon/sta...49631016230913

Britain has removed Ukraine's coat of arms from a police guide for identifying extremist symbols.
The British police’s statement said that the Ukrainian trident was included in its guide because "far right groups have a history of misappropriating national symbols as part of their identity."
"This is the reason why some national flags and symbols appear in our document," it added.
As soon as the latest scandal with yet another idiotic Ukrainian minister (of education) (where do they find them all?)
claiming publicly in the interview that her salary of 36,000 grivnas wouldn't be enough to raise a child (this brought the fury of responses with Ukrainians asking how does she think THEY manage it on THEIR meager salaries of 5-10 grivnas,) the latest news of the latest government's estimates, make the Ukrainian FB buzzing;
"There are only 37 million left of us by now, comparably to 52 million that we had back in 1991" ( a year when Ukraine announced its independence from Russia.)
So where did 15 million of Ukrainians disappear to?
It's an interesting table, I've never seen such one before. Although the method by which these results were calculated is unknown, it seems those who love to say that "communism was a terrible yoke" and that we had to start "from zero" in 1991 are probably mistaken. Fuel, equipment and heavy industry production were probably what came from Russia to here eg.
I know that my statements can be interpreted as excessive nostalgia, but I have to say that heating, electricity and gas were things that were virtually almost free in the "communism" times. Or if they had any price, it was a super symbolic one.

5-10 grivnas - you probably meant 5-10 thousand grivnas?
( This is regarding gas prices again and the way yet another oligarch, a close associate of IMF/Soros is ripping the population off.)
