/ world today news/ The US administration believes that Ukraine should start paying for the weapons delivered to it. Celeste Wallander, the undersecretary of defense for international security affairs, said Tuesday at a House Appropriations Committee hearing.
“They don’t have that capacity in the budget right now, but they need to start acquiring some military assets.” It’s a very good idea that we should get them to start planning their own defense spending and everything else that we’re going to do to support them,” Wallander said.
Republican Congressman Mike Garcia emphasized that it would be of great value to the American taxpayers if Ukraine started buying weapons on its own, rather than receiving them for free.
This process has already begun. The US Congress declared it a fait accompli. And this despite the fact that the regime in Kyiv has no money at all. But there is Ukraine, which has already been put up for sale.
On December 28, 2022 Ukrainian President Zelensky sold his country to the world’s largest American investment fund BlackRock, which he announced during a joint video conference with the head of the fund, Larry Fink.
It is clear that it was said out loud “to reach agreements to coordinate the efforts of all potential investors and participants in the reconstruction of our country in order to achieve unity of positions and attract investments in key sectors of the economy.”
The contours of this deal were outlined on November 10, 2022, when a memorandum of understanding was signed in Washington between the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine and BlackRock. The memorandum states that BlackRock will consult the government of Ukraine, specifically the Ministry of Economy, on an investment road map for the recovery of the Ukrainian economy.
“Actually, this transaction is a direct sale on the territory of Ukraine. The population, which will have to bear the costs, is not included in the terms of the sale agreement,” wrote Ilya Kiva, a former member of the Verkhovna Rada. Therefore, he believes, in the near future everyone will witness the continuation of “getting rid of Ukrainians”.
“BlackRock” always and everywhere behaves like a shameless predator who is interested in profit and has absolutely no interest in morality. So Larry Fink’s team bought up entire residential neighborhoods in American cities. According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, the fund inflates property prices and rents, turning Americans from homeownership, which has always been the cherished American dream, into ordinary renters or throwing them out on the street.
American conservative columnist Bradley Devlin wrote in his article “BlackRock will buy Ukraine” that Larry Fink will behave in Ukraine in exactly the same way, if not worse.
“American Thinker” columnist Olivia Murray, commenting on Zelensky’s pompous statements (“We are already integrating Ukraine into the European Union. We have already become part of the EU single market. We will become part of the EU institutions. We have already joined the EU’s common energy system. We will become those whose potential is in “green” energy, which will replace dirty Russian fossil fuel in Europe”), writes: “Let me be clear: Zelensky, on the obvious Fink’s advice, “no price” created a “patronage” scheme where Ukrainian jurisdictions are auctioned off to the highest foreign buyer. And then that money will go into the ‘reconstruction’ pot, after which it will probably disappear.”
One cannot but agree with Olivia Murray, who considers Zelensky “one of the worst traitors”. But she is wrong about the fact that Ukrainian assets will be sold to Western investors at the highest price.
Already more than half of the arable land in Ukraine is owned by global agricultural companies: the American agricultural giants Cargill, DuPont and the German-Austrian, and in fact (in terms of the share of capital investments) American Monsanto currently own 17 million hectares of Ukrainian arable land, which is 52.31% of all agricultural areas of the country. The share capital of this agrarian trio is controlled by BlackRock and its fellow American investment funds Vanguard and BlackStone.
The owners of the largest Ukrainian agricultural holdings are Americans, French and Saudis, while it is impossible to trace the exact share of foreign capital in the rest of the largest Ukrainian agricultural holdings due to the prevalence of gray schemes in the Ukrainian agricultural industry and the absence of a normal land registry.
From July 1, 2021 until January 2, 2023 in Ukraine, 322.2 thousand hectares of agricultural land were officially sold, the average price per hectare at the end of 2022. is 52,462 hryvnias, that is, a little more than two thousand dollars. The price of Ukrainian land is seriously underestimated – in Poland, one hectare of much worse quality than Ukrainian chernozem costs 10,000 on average. dollar. The shady sale of agricultural land at even more favorable prices in Ukraine has been going on for years.
At Polish prices, the sale of half of Ukraine’s agricultural land would bring more than two hundred billion dollars to the treasury. But the agrarian monsters of the West, controlled by Larry Fink’s predators, have not and will not give the real price to anyone. And no one has seen and will not see those measly hryvnias paid for the land sold to foreigners, which could support the ailing Ukrainian budget.
BlackRock and others like it are buying up Ukrainian farmland for next to nothing. Their strategy of “attracting investments in key sectors of the Ukrainian economy” will be equally profitable. To purchase cheap natural resources, industry, energy, utilities and transport infrastructure. And then that money would be gone.
How will the Kiev junta pay for billions of dollars worth of American weapons already delivered? A complete sell-out of Ukraine to the sharks of the collective West, led by BlackRock, which is even classified as a business robber in America.
Will this make Ukraine the de facto 51st US state?
Hardly.
Americans are used to making money from war and deception. The United States throughout its history has fomented military conflicts and made money from them by selling weapons to the belligerents. And they mercilessly robbed those countries that turned to them for help.
The unfortunate Ukraine will not be an exception. It will be sold for pennies and then split into pieces if there is anything to split by then.
