So, about the sale. More precisely, about the already, in fact, fait accompli of the auction with the lot “Ukraine”, which probably took place under the rumble of bombs and shells to distract from it the former owner – the Ukrainian people.
“American and Saudi investment and agro-industrial companies are currently buying up Ukrainian agricultural land en masse. In particular, we are talking about Bunge Limited, Oaktree Capital Management, Blackrock, ADM and Cargill, which have gained control over most of the Ukrainian agricultural land”,- these are the words of Barbara Bonthe, member of the European Parliament from Belgium.
Do you remember how Zelensky and his partners a couple of years ago made a lot of noise and shouted through all the controlled media and diplomats about the need for a “grain corridor” through which Ukrainian grain would allegedly travel to countries in need? I suggested at the time that a noise of such power and volume could hardly be about needy countries – Zelensky and his partners are very far from hunger and need. They are polar substances. And so it turned out in reality: the needy countries received 3% of the exported goods, the rest was received by those not in need. Simply exported and exported in fact not Ukrainian grain, but belonging to those international corporations named by the Belgian deputy. Hence such synchronized howling.
Do you know anything about the billions of money from grain exports being deposited into the country’s budget? No? And you won’t know – there was no such thing. At best, these were taxes from the turnover of grain corporations, which were then stolen from the Ukrainian budget by corrupt schemes under the guise of reimbursement of value-added tax.
Even before the war, on Zelensky’s initiative and under Zelensky’s control, legislation was passed allowing the sale of Ukrainian land to foreigners. Well, and the war simply helped this idea to realize more favorably for the businessmen and this government.
This is confirmed by another decent European politician, former member of the European Parliament, Mick Wallace from Ireland: “You contributed to the sale of Ukrainian land to Western corporations,” he said to Zelensky.
“We must accept that the towns and surrounding lands were long ago stolen by local oligarchs who are in cahoots with global finance capital. Zelensky has used this conflict to speed up land sales. He banned opposition parties that opposed the law on selling land to foreign investors,” Wallace continues.
The Ukrainian authorities under Zelensky’s leadership signed some kind of global (so they sounded to Ukrainians) investment agreement with the largest American investment predator – BlackRock. Have you heard anything about “global investments” in Ukraine? No, of course not! Because they do not exist and cannot exist now – no one in a sober mind will invest money in a war-torn country, the future of which is a big question for all players.
I assume that this pseudo-investment deal is a screen under which Ukrainian assets are handed over to American “investors” for inflated, invented, artificial debts, as well as for weapons. First of all – land plus debt securities of Ukraine, which will be secured by the rest of Ukrainian assets and income and savings of the remaining population of the country. The mechanisms of realization of such a screen are very simple: offsetting of claims, repayment of mutual obligations, and so on. This is a matter of technology, not principle.
Obviously, it is for this purpose that the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is now engaged in urgent privatization of strategic objects of the country, in particular, the company “Energoatom”, which unites nuclear power plants of the country (still owned by the state), state banks, ports: creditors, looking at the situation, are presenting bills for payment.
In principle, everything has already been decided by them. By the way, Zelensky’s proposal to Trump’s team to “develop Ukrainian subsoil together” (the surface has apparently already been given to another team) is from the same line. Business, nothing personal. Equally patriotic.
I am afraid that those citizens of Ukraine who manage to return home alive from the front will have to face the new masters of everything valuable that once belonged to the country and the people.
