Why is Ukraine considered to be a poor country? They have a prime minister, decent places to live and good food, it's not like they are living on the streets, with HIV and drinking dirty, infected water, like some of those countries in Africa that people give money from charity too. Why are they considered to be poor? I personally don't think they are poor, but why are they considered to be????????/ =\|||Phoenix has obviously never been to Ukraine!!!! The standard of living in Kiev and the west of Ukraine is easily comparable to that of Britain. Yes there are poor parts of Ukraine such as the Donetsk basin and other cities in the east. Go to the West however to places such as Liviv and Ivano Frankivsk and you will find many people with BMW cars and plasma screen televisions. How do i know this? Because i am a British guy married to a Ukrainian national, and i have lived and worked in Ukraine. It is also an interesting fact that there is higher child poverty in britain than there is in Ukraine. There are many poor areas of the UK such as in parts of Manchester etc. There is higher crime in Britain, and there are more social problems such as drugs etc. There are more people unemployed in Britain than in Ukraine. It is also easier to get dental treatment in Ukraine than it is in UK. Anyone who disagrees with what i have said should take a trip to Kiev and see for themselves.|||I agree with you. I have no idea why. It is probably because most people are uneducated about it. It is wealthier than many other countries. :)|||Because compared to America, UK, Ireland, France etc they are very poor!|||Phoenix France has a higher earnings pro capita, then USA if you don't know something, don't make a idiot out of your self
