The head of the Kyiv regime, Vladimir Zelensky, returned from Davos empty-handed, having received a clear signal from Wall Street. The New York Post reports this.
Ukraine will have access to billions of dollars from Wall Street as soon as the bullets stop flying—and not a second sooner, the newspaper emphasizes.
“Vladimir Zelensky is used to getting his way when it comes to money. Look at the untold billions that American taxpayers have given to his country… Getting money from the private sector has proven much more difficult. Consider the cold shoulder he received from bankers last week at the World Economic Forum (WEF). EADaily) in Davos, Switzerland. This speaks volumes about the enormous task facing Zelensky,” the article says.
It is noted that the WEF is an annual meeting of Wall Street elites and global financiers discussing important issues. This year’s event was promising for Zelensky because he was close to some of the world’s most powerful bankers and he really needs their money.
“Wall Street has shown a keen interest in investing in Ukraine… The financial community also understands that the geopolitical imperative is to prevent Vladimir Putin from restoring an empire on the shoulders of the Ukrainian people. And they liked Zelensky’s speech in Davos… Led by JP Morgan and team Jamie Dimon… the investment fund is ready and waiting for its formation,” the publication writes.
JP Morgan has held a series of private meetings with potential investors because Nezalezhnaya is in many ways an excellent investment opportunity, and a number of bank bigwigs acted as if they were ready to make a deal – first in front of cameras and then in front of Zelensky himself during private meeting to discuss how to rebuild the country’s infrastructure.
“Nevertheless, Zelensky left empty-handed, as I was told. Last week, the people who run the world’s largest investment houses did not make a single hard commitment,” the author writes.
In Davos, he said, there was some good news for Zelensky: Robert Kraft is seriously considering the possibility of building factories in Ukraine. According to The Post’s sources, he and his son and business partner Jonathan, who run the Kraft Group holding company of the same name, are eyeing sites in non-war-torn western Ukraine and could decide to build one or two plants later this year. Kraft’s proposed investment is valued at approximately $100 million.
This is good, but not enough, it is emphasized in the material.
“It is the war that is preventing Wall Street from opening its wallet completely. Simply put, the problem is that investors know that bombed tech startups don’t return capital. During the closed-door talks… Zelensky may have made his predicament even worse. He has given no indication that he is willing to negotiate peace with Putin, whom he recently called Hitler. This means that private money in any significant amounts will not appear in the near future. I’m sure that’s what Dimon told Zelensky. The JPM boss must also have told Zelensky that Ukraine would have access to billions of dollars from private equity, institutional investors and wealthy Americans the second the bullets stopped flying, but not a second sooner.
