Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine has attracted widespread attention from all over the world and has also made many jokes. It’s not just Zelensky who is an actor. What’s good now is that an inexperienced “female Internet celebrity” deputy minister suddenly appeared.
Recently, foreign media revealed that 25-year-old Anna Sergeyeva has been appointed as Deputy Minister of Public Policy of Ukraine, responsible for managing social policy affairs in European integration countries. It is reported that she used to work in a beauty salon and did not have any experience in the public sector.
This news was a bolt from the blue for the Ukrainian people and caused an instant sensation on the Internet. Netizens quickly turned over the information about this "female internet celebrity". It was found that her monthly salary was actually 2.5 times that of President Zelenskiy, as high as 68,600 hryvnia , which is more than 15,000 yuan in RMB.
68,600 hryvnia is not too much for other American and European countries, but compared with Ukraine now, this number is not small. During this period, Ukraine not only lost several economically developed cities along the coast, but the economic shutdown also caused a large number of refugees to flee, which was even worse for Ukraine's economy. According to previous estimates by the World Bank, Ukraine's GDP may decrease by 45% this year, which means that the Ukrainian economy is now on the verge of collapse. At this time, the Ukrainian government can actually hire a person with no political experience as a deputy minister at a "high price", which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among Ukrainian netizens.
After the incident happened, the Ukrainian government immediately came out to smooth things over for her, saying that Sergeyeva's favorite thing was to "care for the old, weak, sick and disabled" in an attempt to influence the people. But what they got in return was cynicism from Ukrainian netizens. Sergeyeva even directly set her social account to "visible after passing the follow".
In fact, until now, the key reason that makes the Ukrainian people the most angry is mainly due to her work experience. Before being appointed as deputy minister, she worked in the news department of the Ukrainian "1+1" TV channel and the British Broadcasting Corporation. From beauty salons to Internet celebrities to broadcasters, her resume is indeed rich in a sense, but these work experiences are fundamentally unrelated to public policy matters.
The farce happening in Ukraine is far more than that. The Ukrainian government recently issued an announcement forcing women across the country to join the army. Even though this decision was strongly opposed by the Ukrainian people as soon as it was made, the authorities in Kiev did not give up. The idea of women going to war. Until now, nearly 14% of Ukrainian soldiers are women, and the number of female soldiers ranks among the top five in the world.
Generally speaking, this behavior of the Ukrainian government has aroused heated discussions and has been regarded as irresponsible to the people of the country. Everyone understands the importance of politicians to the country. Just think about it, if even the politicians in a country are not professionals, then in what field can this country gain a foothold?
