Trump’s Extortionate Ukraine Demands: Greed, Bullying, and a Looming Disaster
A new US draft deal proposes near-total American control over Ukraine’s critical minerals, energy assets, and related infrastructure. This significantly escalates previous demands, granting the US-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund sweeping authority. Ukrainian officials express concerns about the deal’s potential to compromise national sovereignty and increase dependence on the US. The proposal omits security guarantees for Ukraine, leaving it vulnerable. This contrasts sharply with earlier, less extensive proposals.
