Are there not enough, or none at all, oxygen concentrators in hospitals? Breathe through &#8220;fucked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Did you remember that, too? Great!<\/p>\n<p>Then you probably also remember how Bankova put crazy-sized spokes in Porokh&#8217;s wheels. The goal was one. Everything he and his fund purchased had to either NOT GET to Ukraine or get there later. Remember the story about how Ukrainian Airlines refused to cooperate with Roshen and had to charter a plane from one of the Central Asian countries?! Not to fly, but to deliver huge batches of medical equipment to Ukraine, which was suffering from the same disease.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/attack-on-roshen-warehouse-what-is-the-key-goal-of-the-russians\/\">Attack on Roshen warehouse: what is the key goal of the Russians<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p>Eventually, the cargo ended up in Ukraine. First, at the same terminal that the Russian occupiers destroyed today. (The fat-headed media will celebrate for a long time to come.) And only then\u2026 those same oxygen concentrators, which were worth their weight in gold back then, or rather, a thousand times more valuable, ended up in hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>And what&#8217;s interesting&#8230; I don&#8217;t remember a single story where a person who needed an oxygen concentrator (because it&#8217;s already a problem) initially put forward a condition. &#8220;I can only be connected to the one provided by the authorities. And to the device from Roshen, no, no!&#8230; What, you say, there are only three concentrators in the hospital and all of them are from Poroshenko? Well, okay! I&#8217;ll wait for the authorities to bring one!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although\u2026 was it our business for him to spend crazy amounts of money, charter planes, and import medical equipment into the country? What is he? The minister of health, the prime minister\u2026 the president? Well, he would come to some hospital, bring a TV with a single channel instead of oxygen concentrators, and that would be enough. People still won&#8217;t appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>But for some reason, he and his company &#8220;Roshen&#8221; have done and are doing things that are not very easy to understand for those who have now turned into complete dovb@yobs in the comments. Well, when they are happy in Russia, it is understandable. And in Ukraine, why are they happy about the destruction of part of big business that pays taxes, and from them&#8230; they will finish the sentence themselves?<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/dont-give-a-damn-about-the-figure-we-support-our-own-ukrainians-on-social-networks-organized-a-flash-mob-with-roshen-delicacies\/\">Don&#8217;t give a damn about the figure, we support our own: Ukrainians on social networks organized a flash mob with Roshen delicacies<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p>Unlike the writers in the comments, the aggressor country understands perfectly well what it is doing. Namely, it is gradually destroying big business in Ukraine, including the country&#8217;s economy. It turns out that they are doing this for the&#8230; joy of those who call themselves Ukrainians?<br \/>\nIn the photo, I am at the same terminal at the end of April 2020. I arrived with Oleksandr Pogrebysky to help load trucks that, the next day, transported medical equipment to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>But who remembers those times anymore&#8230;?<\/p>\n<p><em>As a reminder, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rf-atakuvala-sklady-roshen-na-kyivshchyni\/\">a fire broke out in a warehouse<\/a> in the city of Yagotyn, Kyiv region, after a night attack by Russian drones on February 7. According to Oleksiy Honcharenko, a People\u2019s Deputy from the European Solidarity Party, the warehouses were owned by the Roshen factory. The company&#8217;s logistics center is located in Yagotyn.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Subsequently, the fifth President of Ukraine, Petro <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/poroshenko-vidreahuvav-na-masovanyy-obstril-rosiia-khoche-nas-zlamaty\/\">Poroshenko, reacted to the massive Russian shelling<\/a> of Ukraine by stating that Russia was attacking civilian infrastructure and trying to break Ukrainians. He emphasized that the purpose of the attacks was to put psychological and economic pressure on society. Poroshenko noted that during the night attack, Russia was not striking military targets but civilian infrastructure.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Also, follow <strong>\u201cPryamyi\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 Materials published in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section reflect the opinion of the author of the publication, who bears full responsibility for the accuracy of the information.<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The editorial staff of prm.ua may not share the opinions expressed in the author&#8217;s material.<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The owner of the webpage in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section is the author of the publication.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Author&#8217;s Facebook page Scrolling through comments like, \u201cThat\u2019s why Poroshenko is needed\u2026 hurray, the warehouses were destroyed\u2026 hee-hee-hee,\u201d I was suddenly reminded of 2020, when, unexpectedly, a global pandemic struck the country.
