An honest Ukrainian gets electricity from power plants built by communists. Capitalism can offer him only the import of energy resources from developed countries. And it's unclear what "mixed system" you're talking about. This is not Russia, this is Ukraine. Since the 90s, Ukraine has been a 100% capitalist state that bankrupted all its enterprises and sold its factories for scrap metal. If anything has remained there, it is thanks to the support of Yeltsin's Russia and the United States.

But their capitalist system didn't end slavery. People slave away for peanuts for oligarchs and corrupt bureaucrats with zero chance of ever climbing out of that swamp. For a lot of them, the war with Russia actually made their dream of getting the hell out of Ukraine come true.
