No idea

heaven on earth, before the orcs came and destroyed it

How
You must be very young

26 is... young?

Meh, could have been much better

You think its better now(if we don’t look at the obvious problem)

You think its better now

it's worse off now only western ukraine is better now

In some aspects - yes. Others still require work.

2000s

download tor to find out

Others still require work

Thats sounds to me that not much got worse

Despite the obvious elephant in the room, things got better overall since those times

in the 2000s is what slightly better than us. in the 2010s it got really worse. otherwise not very different from Romania. In fact I found it to be more similar to our cunt than Bulgaria

I worked with both and i think you look somewhat similar. Although some Ukrainians have some different features

according to Ukrainian millenials it was an ancap paradise and then rusnya came and turned it to hell

2000-2008 was the rare time of stability + economical recovery. Somewhat culturally too, for example until 2006 ukrdub of movies was practically non-existant; but on the other hand many famous 90s singers started to be oriented on global CIS.
More like ancap hell, weak state was the reason for emergence of oligarchy

I didn't mean the average looking person but the general landscape and aesthetics

They had a hot MILF prime minister called Julija Tymoshenko

Well, Romania is half-Slavic half-Balkan so obviously there are many similarities with both cultural spheres there

fake amd gay. Romania is culturally a med country. look it up! we are on the same latitude as Spain, Portugal, France and Italy

In the 1990s my uncle used to run a small private business and he had many Ukrainian and Belarussian customers, it was a time of a rapid privatization and economic liberalization in Poland, old communist factories were taken over by westerners (often for a low price), many people were left unemployed and these ex-USSR guys would often say to my uncle that Poles are doing a stupid thing by selling everything out to the west because they will become slaves to Germans, while Belarus and Ukraine will cooperate with Russia instead and it will benefit them more.
Well, turned out they weren't right.

Like Moldova today

Чoмy ти нe нa фpoнтi, пaтpioт? Tи пoтpiбeн cвoїй кpaїнi пpoти мocкaля.

You don't remember your childhood?

You are slaves to the germans and are already being ethnically replaced.

When are you going back to mordor?

I asked first.

Poles are doing a stupid thing by selling everything out to the west because they will become slaves to Germans,

turned out they weren't right.

They were extremely correct in this case.
Poland is not a country, it's an assembly plant for German companies with cheap labour

We spend a siginifcant portion of our GDP on roads and highways while not creating a single kilometer of railway track since 1990s, because that would benefit Polish people while roads and highways make logistics for German companies cheaper and faster

The thing is - I'm already participating in this

We spend a siginifcant portion of our GDP on roads and highways while not creating a single kilometer of railway track since 1990s, because that would benefit Polish people while roads and highways make logistics for German companies cheaper and faster

what a retarded reasoning lmao, i drive on roads way more often than i ride trains

I've been to Poland some time ago - you have no fucking clue how good you have it with rail transport compared to us

i drive on roads way more often than i ride trains

Because the railway infrastructure hasn't been updated for the last 50 years
It's was a choice made for you not by you lol

But you can keep pretending poland stronk like a jeet does with india lol

Ukrzaliznycya obviously has quite old trains but i must admit given how generally chaotic and messy everything in Ukraine is, they still do a relatively good job with what they have, trains are usually on time at least

t. used UZ service

It's amazing how blind you are.

Because the railway infrastructure hasn't been updated for the last 50 years

no, simply because it's way more convenient to drive a car than wait for a train and then walk 3 km from the station to your final destination

people use cars because they prefer cars, not because there is some German conspiracy

It's was a choice made for you not by you lol

it was made by voters
Poles overwhelmingly support road development because pretty much everyone drives a car
trains are less important because most people actually dont need them (because they have cars)
cope&seethe&dilate and go back to your whatever mikol forum

Peaceful. Peaceful, corrupt, poor shithole

The integration of rail infrastructure in Poland is a order of magnitude better than anything here. There is little you could realistically complain about, it's all about incremental improvements for you really

in terms of railway ukraine is a fucking disgrace and it's so bad i feel fucking ashamed myself, although i have no connection with ukrzaliznytsia management board

Simple comparsion of Soviet DR1A diesel units (The Half-Life Train):
