There is a region in the East that is making money, there’s also a region in the East that is bleeding money like crazy. Somehow he asserts that the money-making region is feeding the west; not the neighbouring eastern region of Donbas or the equally bleeding south, but the west.

Well, Ivan Mazepa finally fond a single most depressive state in the East, and it still contributes more in tax revenue to Ukraine than any Western state, apart from Lviv (which is the best performing Western state).
