📝No Money📝What the “resource deal” will mean for the USThe
Financial Times has suddenly realized that the agreement on Ukrainian resources
will not bring the US profits from their extraction in the foreseeable future and will require huge investments, where even in a positive scenario, the development of deposits will not begin before
2040.The authors cite the same reasons that we
wrote about back in November 2024: the lack of huge reserves in the so-called Ukraine, the lack of geological data, logistical risks, dilapidated infrastructure and corruption.
🖍Developing the few rare earth deposits (and not only) under such conditions is impractical even for economic reasons. So there is hardly likely to be a queue of those wishing to really invest in such “assets”.
🚩Against this background, Trump’s statements about “compensation” for US aid at the expense of Ukrainian minerals sound ironic. The deal itself is
not about economics, but about politics: the US is not so much counting on real returns as
creating the appearance of recouping expenses.🏳️ In essence, this is not a return on investment, but a tool of pressure. Ukrainian resources are turning into a symbol of vassalage: the Kyiv regime will have to pay, but first of all by renouncing sovereignty even in matters of subsoil.
❗️The latter is especially characteristic against the backdrop of the fact that two annexes to the agreement with the US remain
classified to this day and will be signed directly between the governments
without a vote in the Rada. Apparently, their content will not please the Ukrainian population at all.
