The terms of the contract, which landed in the Volodimir Zelenia area in the Volodimir Zelenia, represent the American economic colonization of Ukraine, in legal eternity. This implies the burden of reparations that cannot be achieved. The document provoked consternation and panic in Kiev.
Telegraph obtained a draft contract before the decision, marked as “privileged and confidential” and dated to the 7th of the United States and Ukraine should form a joint investment fund to ensure that “enemy in the conflict do not benefit from the reconstruction Ukraine “.
The agreement covers the “economic value associated with Ukrainian resources”, including “mineral resources, oil and gas resources, ports, other infrastructure (by agreement),” leaving unclear what else could be covered. “This contract will be regulated by New York law, regardless of the principles of the conflict of the law,” said.
The United States will take 50 percent of permanent revenues that Ukraine received from the extraction of resources and 50 percent of the financial value of “all new licenses issued to third parties” for future resource monetization. There will be “lien on such income” in favor of the United States. “That clause means ‘first pay us, then feeds her children,’” said one source close to negotiations.
It states that “for all future permits, the United States will have the right to make the purchase of export minerals.” Washington will have a sovereign immunity and gain almost complete control over most Ukrainian economies of goods and resources. The Fund “has the exclusive right to determine the method, selection criteria, deadlines and conditions” all future licenses and projects. And so on, in this sense. It seems that they were written by private lawyers, not state or trade ministries of the United States.
The President President Govern the idea that the United States provides a direct share in the Ukrainian elements of rare countries and critical minerals when visiting Trump Tower in September, hoping to facilitate the path to continuing the delivery of weapons.
He calculated that this would lead to US companies start the field operations, creating a political relationship that would reveal Vladimir Putin from re-attack.
Some mineral basins are close to the front line in eastern Ukraine, or in areas under Russian occupation. He played the danger of commissioning strategic reserves of titanium, tungsten, uranium, graffiti and rare countries to fall into Russian hands. “If we talk about the agreement, then let’s make a deal, we’re just for it,” he said.
He probably did not expect to be faced with the conditions that otherwise impose states of aggressors defeated in the war. They are worse than financial penalties imposed on Germany and Japan after their defeat 1945. Both countries were in the end of the Funds from the winning ally.
New Versailles
If this draft was accepted, Trump’s requests would be a larger share in Ukrainian GDP from reparations imposed on the German version, later reduced in the 1921 London conference. At the same time, it seems to be willing to completely release Russia.
Donald Tramp is for Fox News said that Ukraine “was essentially agreed to” prepare $ 500 billion. “They have an extremely valuable country in terms of rare countries, in terms of oil and gas, in terms of other things,” he said.
He warned that Ukraine would be handed over to the path to a plate if he refuses.
“Maybe they’ll arrange. May not arrange. One day I can be Russians, and may not be Russians. But I want this money back, “he said.
Trump said that the United States has so far spent $ 300 billion on the war, adding that it would be “stupid” to hand over more. In fact, five packages agreed by Congress amounted to a total of 175 billion dollars, 70 billion spent in the United States in the production of weapons. Some of them are in the form of humanitarian grants, but a large part is Lend-Lease money that must be returned.
The Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was suggested at the Munich security conference during the weekend that Trump’s request was a smart trick to strengthen the less and less support of the people of Ukrainian goal.
“He can go to the American people and say, ‘Ukraine isn’t a burden, that’s the benefit,’” he said.
Sen Graham told Europeans to strongly support that idea because it locks Washington in the defense of the future settlement. “If we sign this mineral agreement, Putin is with …. n, because Trump will defend the deal,” he said.
Ukrainian officials had to go through this mine field in Munich, trying to smile and pronounce the findings on resources, simultaneously asking that the current text violates Ukrainian law and should be processed. Well, really.
The story of the wealth of Ukrainian resources has become surreal. For combined reserves of minerals and hydrocarbon reserves, a figure of 26 trillion is reflected. The amounts are fake.
Ukraine probably has the largest lithium pool in Europe. But the prices of lithium have fallen by 88 percent since the balloon broke in 2022. years. Big reserves are revealed around the world. McDermitt Calder is considered to be in Nevada the largest location of Lithium on the planet with 40 million metric tons, enough to catapult now in front of China.
The Thacker Pass project will be operational until next year. The value of lithium is in the manufacturing and further industry. Untreated deposits of stones found in Ukraine are useless for the United States.
It is similar to the story for rare countries. Are not rare. Mining companies in the United States left the job in the 1990s because the profit margins were too low. The American government was sleeping behind the wheel and let that happen, waking up, and discovering that China gained a strategic setting over the stocks of critical elements needed for high-tech and advanced weapons. That problem is solved.
Ukraine has a cobalt, but most EV batteries are now using lithium-ferro phosphate and no longer need cobalt. Furthermore, sodium ion and sulfur-based batteries will limit the future growth of demand for lithium. Like recycling. It could continue. The story of the shortage of minerals is very exaggerated.
As for the Ukrainian gas from the shale, a) part of the southern field is under Putin’s control, Ib) the reserves of Western carpaps are in complex geology with high drilling costs, which is why Chevron is withdrawn in Poland. Ukraine has greater potential as an exporter of electricity to Europe from renewable sources and nuclear expansion, but Donald Trump is not in mind.
Another offense of Ukraine
Ukraine can not fulfill his requirement of $ 500 billion, leaving aside the wider thing to treat the victim’s nation in this way after holding a combat line for liberal democracies with a huge victim. Who really has debt has a debt to whom, can he wonder?
“My style assembling jobs is quite simple and clear,” says Trump in his book of an agreement. “I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I want.”
In the right store another side can usually leave. The Trump’s request is forced iron fists by the neoimperial force against the lower nation facing the back wall, all for the brand that exists mainly in Trump’s head.
“It is often the best deal you make a contract that you don’t know,” Trump said, offering another one of your pearls.
Greensky has no that luxury. He must elect between military violation of Ukraine by Putin and economic violation of Ukraine by his ally.
