A New Donald Trump event offered Ukraine in exchange for continuing US support, but with no security guarantees amid Russia’s invasion, forcing it to choose between life as a US economic colony or Russian occupation.
The latest version of the White House’s much-mutated mineral transaction, tabled in Kyiv, goes beyond ever in the effort to get Ukraine to report to pay the US support in the war, plus four percent.
In addition, according to Delaware Act, the US demands most of the Ukraine industrial outputs and a large part of its transport and communication system.
This is the result of a mafia protection supported by the former friends in Washington DC on Ukraine Shakedown on Ukraine Shakedown (accidentally or designed) by Thuggery of the Kremlin.
Said the Ukrainian MPs The independent That, even if, as unlikely, President Volodymyr Zelensky reported to the offer, it would be no chance of ratification by Ukraine’s legislature.
“It completely ignores international law and Ukrainian Constitution and Ukrainian law,” says Oleksandr Morezkho, chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee.
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin regularly said that Ukraine is not a ‘real’ country, but a natural part of the Russian, or Soviet rich. The minerals and agriculture are seen by Russian colonialists as an essential part of Russian regional domination.
The Trump administration now clearly sees great benefits for US business if it can trade the order of the Ukrainian economy for backpayers against war donations and a long-term-not-military US presence.
The mineral transaction – which takes the form of a business contract under US legislation that has no jurisdiction in Ukraine – states that Ukraine and the US would divide the royalties of oil, gas and all minerals.
The profits will be paid to the US in dollars and placed in a joint investment fund managed by Americans who hold three of five seats on the Governing Council.
It further demands that the US contribution to the Ukraine war effort be repaid immediately. Trump says it is $ 350 billion, but the truth is closer to $ 130 billion.
The US agreement covers all infrastructure used for mineral products – trains, roads, airports, ports, pipelines, processing plants and refineries and gives America veto power over the sale of resources to other countries or entities.
“It makes no sense, because the idea is that Ukraine has to give everything he has, all its natural resources, in exchange for the help already provided. But it’s absurd,” Morezkho said.
He said he hoped that the Trump scheme was a negotiating tactic and did not reflect an ultimatum to withhold military and intelligence assistance, as the US threatened, as Kyiv did not sign the contract.
“You know, [that would be like] If you see a person killed by a maniac, and instead of helping this person who is bleeding and fighting, struggling to take his life, you are trying to take his possessions, ‘said the MP.
But he hoped that the contract offered can be “declared stupidity and not to be declared by bad intentions or conspiracy”.
Ukrainian politicians are doing everything in their power to prevent Trump’s administration, but it is an almost hopeless effort.
Ukraine reported an American proposal for a 30 -day ceasefire in the Black Sea, and on attacks against energy sectors in Ukraine and Russia. The Kremlin denied the proposal and demanded that the bank sanctions be lifted – which the European Union refused.
The ceasefire conditions do not fit with Ukraine, but form part of Zelensky’s efforts to restore his relationship with the Trump administration following the disastrous bullying he endured during his last visit to the Oval Office.
The session was led by JD Vance, the Vice President, who visited Greenland, part of Denmark and a NATO Member State, on Friday. Together with Trump, he insisted that the minerals there be essential for the economy of America and that it is a strategic asset that should become part of the US through negotiation or violence.
If it is his attitude towards a NATO ally, what hope is there for Ukraine?
Vance’s aggressive anti-Europaism concentrated thoughts in capitals across the continent on building alternative security structures, independent of the US. This included an increase in defense spending, support for Ukraine, and attempts to meet a ‘reassurance’ for Kyiv if there is ever a peace agreement with Russia.
But the demand to give US control over the economy of Ukraine, forever, without even security guarantees, reveals how little the Trump administration understands the country, said Lisa Yasko, another member of the Ukrainian parliament, the Rada.
“Our troops are not fighting because Zelensky sent them to fight. We fight because we believe it is our right, it is our country. You can’t just take our freedom away from us and the question of the ground is one of the problems we are so emotional about, ‘she said.
Recent estimates by the Kiel Institute suggest that the US delivers about 30 percent of the Ukraine military equipment and ammunition. This could survive a complete withdrawal of US military aid, although United States intelligence support was critical and will still remain.
So it is Russian muscle and US intelligence that Trump uses to extract a colonial price from Kyiv.
But Ukraine is fighting against Moscow’s efforts to return Ukraine to colonial status such as among the tsars and the Soviets.
Yasko said the American agreement would certainly be rejected because it conquered memories of the Holodomor, when the Kremlin ordered the expropriation of grain from Ukraine to Russia and killed and hungry in the early thirties.
“Our historical memory is as strong as that – we should never allow anyone to have full control over our land,” she warned.
