The agreement of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, offered to Ukraine in exchange for his support, but without security guarantees before the invasion of Russia, forces the country to choose between life as an economic colony of the US or the Russian occupation, as the British newspaper’s international editor has written Sam Kiley.
The latest version of the White House Minerals Agreement, which has been presented in kyiv, goes beyond ever in the attempt to make Ukraine commit to paying retroactively the US support in the war, plus 4%. In addition, it requires that the US, under the Law of Delaware, control most of the industrial production of Ukraine and much of its transport and communications system.
“It is the result of a mafia -style protection operation against Ukraine by his former friends in Washington, supported (by accident or by design) by the matonism of the Kremlin,” he highlights in the text. Ukrainian parliamentarians told The Independent That even if, as is unlikely, the president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski signed the offer, would have no possibility of ratification by the Ukraine Legislature.
“This completely ignores international law, constitution and Ukrainian legislation,” said Oleksandr Morezkho, president of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Ukrainian Parliament.
The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has often stated that Ukraine is not a “real” country, but a natural part of the Russian or Soviet empire. “Russian colonialists have considered their mineral and agricultural wealth as an essential part of their regional domain,” he says.
While, the Trump administration clearly sees great rewards for US companies if they can exchange control of the Ukrainian economy for the payment of war donations and a long -term US non -military presence.
