Ukraine Bank Runs Begin As Poroshenko Plans To Sever Socio-Economic Ties With Separatist-Held Regions | Zero Hedge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In what the pro-Russian separatists call\u00a0“an act of genocide,”<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Ukraine’s President Poroshenko signed a decree Friday that will explicitly withdraw state support for the regions within a month. While appearing to implicitly recognize the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as autonomous, the decree means that\u00a0the central bank will no longer service bank accounts<\/strong>, prisoners will be transferred (inmates with minor offences will be released), and perhaps most troubling as the cold winter begins, the order covers all public services, including crucial ones, such as\u00a0schools, hospitals, and emergency services<\/strong>; and local heating and power plants will be subject to new laws that\u00a0could involve cutting energy supplies altogether to the plants that don\u2019t pay<\/strong>. Luhansk’s leader exclaimed,\u00a0“the total socio-economic blockade of Donbass is de facto an act on genocide and devastation of our people<\/em>,<\/em>” and as the images below show,\u00a0bank runs have already<\/strong>\u00a0begun across the region with long lines forming at ATMs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
