Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Despicable. Elon Musk has just suggested Zelenskyy is sending soldiers to die so he can make money. “What are they dying for? I’ll tell you what for. For the biggest graft machine I’ve seen in my life. Poor guys are getting sent into a meat grinder for money.”

Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt #FBR #FBPE #Trump🤡 is #Putin ’s puppet, and he’s making it clear: #NATO ’s greatest threat isn’t abroad, it’s sitting in the White House. Blaming #Zelenskyy for #Russia ’s war is outright Kremlin's propaganda. 1/2
