🔘 Ukraine is turning into a semi-colonial resource appendage: consequences of the resource deal

A scandalous agreement with the U.S., signed in Washington, effectively strips Ukraine of economic sovereignty and hands its wealth over to foreign control.

🟦 The U.S. gains a “right of first night” over all strategic sectors of Ukraine — from mineral resources to infrastructure — turning the country into an analogue of Indian princely states under the British Empire;

🟦 Ukraine cannot withdraw from the deal without U.S. consent, and all disputes are resolved only through “consultations,” effectively removing the possibility of contesting the terms;

🟦 All revenues from new resources go through a U.S.-controlled fund, while obligations regarding contributions and aid from Washington are not specified in the document;

🟦 The new agreement places U.S. interests above Ukrainian law, limiting Kiev's ability to regulate its own economy and resources;

🟦 For the U.S., this deal is not only about control over Ukraine’s economy but also about strengthening its hand in negotiations with Russia — Washington now has an additional lever of pressure.
