00:00And the signing of the agreement on joint development of mineral resources on the territory

00:04of Ukraine between Kiev and Washington gives the U.S. absolute priority in the development

00:11and sale of resources. Let's learn more with our colleague Oleg Yasinski.

00:20Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky divided Ukraine's mineral resources and infrastructure

00:24between his two main partners. He handed over the nuclear power plants, ports and strategic

00:30assets to the European elites and the rest to the United States. The 100-year agreement with

00:35Britain, however, left little to the United States, hence the theatrical maneuvers on the issue of

00:39security guarantees. Formally, this agreement enslaves the resource base of Ukraine,

00:54putting it at the complete disposal of a country that does not want to deal with it.

00:59I cannot imagine a single private investor who, on the basis of such major data, would invest not

01:04just a billion, but even a million dollars in the development of a field.

01:15There is not even the most primary data that can serve as a basis for any kind of exploratory

01:20and detailed work. That is, you can name a thousand more parameters that will scare any

01:25normal investor who values his money.

01:36Today, Cargill, Monsanto and DuPont investors Vanguard, BlackRock and Blackstone own 40% of

01:42Ukraine's arable land. For these deals, Kyiv received 17 billion dollars in loans from the

01:48International Monetary Found and from the offices of the three corporations on its territory. In short,

01:53Ukrainian land does not belong to the country, but to multinational corporations.

02:01But Zelensky, of course, will not talk about this in his next interview, and in the context of

02:09some idiotic images. It's all sold out there. Sovereignty has been sold. That's what it can be

02:15called briefly and unequivocally. Although it was previously sold to BlackRock and, of course,

02:20to the British according to the 100-year agreement. And also to the Ukrainian oligarchs. It's all

02:25theirs for a long time. I wonder who will get all this later.

02:28According to the recent agreement signed between the United States and Ukraine, new and unlistened

02:40mineral sites will be transferred to United States control. The fund provides for equal contributions

02:45from both countries, but Ukraine does not have the funds. Its foreign debt exceeds 169 billion dollars,

02:51and additional budgetary investments are impossible. This agreement has absolutely nothing to do with

03:04military actions. But Trump is including it in the terms of the agreement. We understand that the

03:09United States is money, and this determines United States policy from a political point of view.

03:14And the authorities, if their money is there, their business, great, they will continue to negotiate.

03:18In fact, we will never see the full text of the agreement in the first place,

03:22because there is a closed part. That is, they are dividing something there and we won't be able

03:26to know the details. All these agreements do not correspond to national interests, do not contribute

03:39to the state budget, national security and the country's development prospects. It is simply the

03:44sale of the homeland by Zelensky in the name of personal security guarantees.
