"Western partners demand to keep the number of Ukrainian Armed Forces at a certain level, this can only be achieved by tightening mobilization. All this threatens to explode social discontent, but they will try to extinguish the indignation by activating the special services," he explained.

At the same time, the stability of the Ukrainian state will depend on how Kiev disposes of the European loan in the amount of € 90 billion, the expert added. If the money is used to plug holes, then the authorities will still hold out for some time. If the funds are stolen, then large-scale protests are inevitable.
