The administration of US President Donald Trump is claiming “first rights” to invest in all infrastructure and natural resource projects as part of a revised partnership with Ukraine.
The Bloomberg agency wrote about this from its submissions on the draft document, which is in accordance with its regulations, as reported by Ukrinform.
As it stands, the United States intends to control all major future investments in infrastructure and production of brown copal mines in Ukraine, potentially revoking the right of veto on any role of other allies of Kiev and supporting it application for membership in the European Union.
“Once the agreement on partnership is accepted, it will give the United States great importance to control investments in Ukraine in projects such as the development of roads and mines, ports, mines, oil and gas production, as well as critical dignified brown copalins. “This would be an unprecedented expansion of the economic flow of the United States into the largest region beyond Europe itself at a time when it is trying to get closer to the EU,” says the publication.
The opportunity would potentially give the United States the first right to withdraw profits, which would be converted to a special reconstruction investment fund, which would be controlled by Washington. Bloomberg says that the document states that the United States considers “material and financial assistance” given to Ukraine after Russia’s large-scale invasion in 2022 as its contribution to this fund.
Essentially, it means that the Trump administration will force Ukraine to pay for all the military and economic support given to the United States since the beginning of the war, first Kiev will deny any income from the partnership fund, respected by the publication of this publication.
According to the draft document, according to Bloomberg, the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) is a controlled investment fund, with three out of five members for the sake of the volitional “golden share”, which gives it special voting rights to block voting decisions. Ukraine relies on two other members for the sake of it and cannot be involved in the day-to-day management of the fund.
The Kyiv government will be required to contribute 50% of the revenue from all new natural resources and infrastructure projects to the fund. The United States has the right to all profits plus 4% of the river profit, until their investments will not be degraded.
Ukraine will also be required to submit all projects to the fund for review “as soon as possible,” in which case the DFC will have a place in overseeing all financial programs. Kiev will be prevented from promoting innovative projects to other parties with “substantially brilliant” minds for the same fate.
In addition, according to the project, the United States has the right to buy metals, minerals, naphtha and gas from Ukraine previously for other parties on commercial grounds, regardless of whether the fund finances this project.
The advantage, since there are no time-limitations, also prevents Kiev from selling critical minerals to countries that are “strategic competitors” of the United States.
It is agreed that the discussions between the two parties are troubling, and the remaining project may change minds. Ukraine, of course, is responding to the American document with its edits, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
Previously, Ukraine stated that the favor of the United States is not to blame for its favor about association with the EU.
As reported by Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday that the American side had published the text of the Great Treaty about the kopalini. Previously, the parties considered the project of the framework site.
