Revealed: Trump’s confidential plan to put Ukraine in a stranglehold
Panic in Kyiv as US president demands higher share of GDP than Germany’s First World War reparations
17 February 2025 4:00pm GMT
Donald Trump’s demand for a $500bn (£400bn) “payback” from Ukraine goes far beyond US control over the country’s critical minerals. It covers everything from ports and infrastructure to oil and gas, and the larger resource base of the country.
The terms of the contract that landed at Volodymyr Zelensky’s office a week ago amount to the US economic colonisation of Ukraine, in legal perpetuity. It implies a burden of reparations that cannot possibly be achieved. The document has caused consternation and panic in Kyiv.
The Telegraph has obtained a draft of the pre-decisional contract, marked “Privileged & Confidential’ and dated Feb 7 2025. It states that the US and Ukraine should form a joint investment fund to ensure that “hostile parties to the conflict do not benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine”.
The agreement covers the “economic value associated with resources of Ukraine”, including “mineral resources, oil and gas resources, ports, other infrastructure (as agreed)”, leaving it unclear what else might be encompassed. “This agreement shall be governed by New York law, without regard to conflict of laws principles,” it states.
The US will take 50pc of recurring revenues received by Ukraine from extraction of resources, and 50pc of the financial value of “all new licences issued to third parties” for the future monetisation of resources. There will be “a lien on such revenues” in favour of the US. “That clause means ‘pay us first, and then feed your children’,” said one source close to the negotiations.
It states that “for all future licences, the US will have a right of first refusal for the purchase of exportable minerals”. Washington will have sovereign immunity and acquire near total control over most of Ukraine’s commodity and resource economy. The fund “shall have the exclusive right to establish the method, selection criteria, terms, and conditions” of all future licences and projects. And so forth, in this vein. It seems to have been written by private lawyers, not the US departments of state or commerce.
President Zelensky himself proposed the idea of giving the US a direct stake in Ukraine’s rare earth elements and critical minerals on a visit to Trump Tower in September, hoping to smooth the way for continued arms deliveries.
He calculated that it would lead to US companies setting operations on the ground, creating a political tripwire that would deter Vladimir Putin from attacking again.
Some mineral basins are near the front line in eastern Ukraine, or in Russian-occupied areas. He has played up the dangers of letting strategic reserves of titanium, tungsten, uranium, graphite and rare earths fall into Russian hands. “If we are talking about a deal, then let’s do a deal, we are only for it,” he said.
He probably did not expect to be confronted with terms normally imposed on aggressor states defeated in war. They are worse than the financial penalties imposed on Germany and Japan after their defeat in 1945. Both countries were ultimately net recipients of funds from the victorious allies.
A new Versailles
If this draft were accepted, Trump’s demands would amount to a higher share of Ukrainian GDP than reparations imposed on Germany at the Versailles Treaty, later whittled down at the London Conference in 1921, and by the Dawes Plan in 1924. At the same time, he seems willing to let Russia off the hook entirely.
Donald Trump told Fox News that Ukraine had “essentially agreed” to hand over $500bn. “They have tremendously valuable land in terms of rare earths, in terms of oil and gas, in terms of other things,” he said.
He warned that Ukraine would be handed to Putin on a plate if it rejected the terms. “They may make a deal. They may not make a deal. They may be Russian someday, or they may not be Russian someday. But I want this money back,” he said.
Trump said the US had spent $300bn on the war so far, adding that it would be “stupid” to hand over any more. In fact the five packages agreed by Congress total $175bn, of which $70bn was spent in the US on weapons production. Some of it is in the form of humanitarian grants, but much of it is lend-lease money that must be repaid.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham suggested at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend that Trump’s demand was a clever ploy to bolster declining popular support for the Ukrainian cause. “He can go to the American people and say, ‘Ukraine is not a burden, it is a benefit,’” he said.
Sen Graham told the Europeans to root hard for the idea because it locks Washington into defending a future settlement. “If we sign this minerals agreement, Putin is screwed, because Trump will defend the deal,” he said.
Ukrainian officials had to tiptoe though this minefield at the Munich forum, trying to smile gamely and talking up hopes of a resource deal while at the same pleading that the current text breaches Ukrainian law and needs redrafting. Well, indeed.
Talk of Ukraine’s resource wealth has become surreal. A figure of $26 trillion is being cast around for combined mineral reserves and hydrocarbons reserves. The sums are make-believe.
Ukraine probably has the largest lithium basin in Europe. But lithium prices have crashed by 88pc since the bubble burst in 2022. Large reserves are being discovered all over the world. The McDermitt Caldera in Nevada is thought to be the biggest lithium deposit on the planet with 40m metric tonnes, alone enough to catapult the US ahead of China.
The Thacker Pass project will be operational by next year. The value of lithium is in the processing and the downstream industries. Unprocessed rock deposits sitting in Ukraine are all but useless to the US.
It is a similar story for rare earths. They are not rare. Mining companies in the US abandoned the business in the 1990s because profit margins were then too low. The US government was asleep at the wheel and let this happen, waking up to discover that China has acquired a strategic stranglehold over supplies of critical elements needed for hi-tech and advanced weapons. That problem is being resolved.
Ukraine has cobalt but most EV batteries now use lithium ferrous phosphate and no longer need cobalt. Furthermore, sodium-ion and sulphur-based batteries will limit the future demand growth for lithium. So will recycling. One could go on. The mineral scarcity story is wildly exaggerated.
As for Ukraine’s shale gas, a) some of the Yuzivska field lies under Putin control, and b) the western Carpathian reserves are in complex geology with high drilling costs, causing Chevron to pull out, just as it did in Poland. Ukraine has more potential as an exporter of electricity to Europe from renewables and nuclear expansion, but that is not what is on Donald Trump’s mind.
Ukraine cannot possibly meet his $500bn demand in any meaningful timeframe, leaving aside the larger matter of whether it is honourable to treat a victim nation in this fashion after it has held the battle line for the liberal democracies at enormous sacrifice for three years. Who really has a debt to whom, may one ask?
“My style of dealmaking is quite simple and straightforward,” says Trump in his book The Art of the Deal. “I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I’m after.”
In genuine commerce the other side can usually walk away. Trump’s demand is iron-fist coercion by a neo-imperial power against a weaker nation with its back to the wall, and all for a commodity bonanza that exists chiefly in Trump’s head.
“Often-times the best deal you make is the deal you don’t make,” said Trump, offering another of his pearls.
Zelensky does not have that luxury. He has to pick between the military violation of Ukraine by Putin, and the economic violation of Ukraine by his own ally.

Re: The cia know what they are doing
Zelensky and Putin knew what they were doing:
The Chabad Mafia is Recapturing Khazaria
Zelensky refused to activate any of the Ukrainian defenses because he claimed the invasion would not actually take place. Now Russia has been able to sweep in uncontested and the weak leaders of the West just respond with some sanctions and telling us we are going to have to deal with ludicrously high gas prices.
It’s almost as if this whole situation has been set up from the get go, with all the Zionist Occupational Governments playing their parts to ensure that Russia easily gains control of Ukraine. What could be behind all of this?
Well, Chabad is headquartered in Russia and would like for the new Soviet empire to include the entirety of old Khazaria.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on the West not to create panic amid the build-up of Russian troops on his country's borders.
He told reporters that warnings of an imminent invasion were putting Ukraine's economy at risk.

From Western/Ukrainian sources:
“I only had one brigade.” Ukrainian General explains why Russians rapidly occupied southern Ukraine early in invasion
On the eve of Russia’s invasion, 1,500 Ukrainian troops were overpowered by a 20,000-strong invasion army from Crimea. A general speaks about the events that led to Russia’s rapid occupation of South Ukraine, which Ukraine’s counteroffensive is struggling to reverse.

The Jews knew war was soon and were fleeing Ukraine. The general population followed.
Which begs the question, did Zelensky know Russia was going to invade.?.
Yes. Because the Jews were scramming before the war started.
Yet Zelensky refused to properly prepare Ukraine defenses. Zelensky works for the Jews and Chabad, which favor Chabad Russia, so Zelensky purposefully, which is the only conclusion, left Ukraine weak for a Russian attack to have Chabad Russia take the resource rich south and eastern region, which also are the Khazar Empire regions.
Re: The cia know what they are doing
The fake victimization of Zelensky was to own the issue of new elections to replace Zelensky, so that Ukrainians would rally to Zelensky and not question Zelensky in handing over natural resources and land to the US and Russia since Zelensky is an agent on the side of Russia and Washington.
Zelensky is going to give war reparations to US and Russia.
The overinflating the amount given to Ukraine was for the looting operation at the end of the war.
Real amount:

Biden and Zelensky were there to oversee the defeat of Ukraine, with a looting operating planned after.
Re: The cia know what they are doing
I would not be surprised if Lloyd George or Floyd George, that dude that caused the staged protests, was also on the beach with Epstein.
The purpose is to control the opposition and when the opposition is controlled and the old chaos system is exposed, to change into a new chaos.
Re: The cia know what they are doing
Ukrainian natural resources handed over to the US in a looting operating.
Now Ukraine is on Team America colonization, Ukraine gets F-16 upgrades that controlled opposition Biden was not allowed to do. Biden was the seat occupier to continue old agendas of the US.
Trump is part of the Jewish revolutionary movements, successor to the neocons and the PNAC.
Ukraine upgrading F-16 fighter jet fleet as part of first US purchase under new minerals deal
The State Department approved the sale of F-16 fighter jet training, sustainment and equipment to Ukraine on Friday in the first deal related to the recently signed mineral rights agreement.
The $310.5 million equipment and services being purchased by Ukraine will allow the US to earn credit in an investment fund established by the minerals deal — inked Wednesday — where profits will be split 50/50.

Zelensky did exactly what the Jews wanted Zelensky to do, allow the looting of Ukraine by Chabad Russia and Chabad/cia America. Kike Zelensky was the enemy of Ukraine from the start, and only antisemites figured this out in 2022.
Ukraine was neo-nazi, extreme nationalist, anti-gay, pro-traditional family and kike Zelensky ruined Ukraine in the war waged by the Chabad on the Ukrainian citizens.

You don't hear this from the alt wrong cia trolls on Xhitter.
Re: The cia know what they are doing
Now that Ukrainian resources are owned by Trump and Putin:
US to send more weapons to Ukraine
https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-send-m...165854257.html
And the dehumanizing efforts to call Ukrainians raging communist nazi homosexuals is done, since Ukraine is owned by Washington.
When Ukraine was the playground of Russian and American elites along with the Jews to abuse and rape Ukrainians, strong Ukrainian nationalism was neo-nazi, it was the threat to the oligarchs. Now that Ukraine, via kike Zelensky sold Ukraine to Washington and soon to Putin, it is no longer going to be bullied as having naked sodomite parades 24/7 by Cucker Tarlson.
When Ukraine was rich in resources and wanted to join the EU and Germany and the family of Europe, it was the enemy filled only with gays and nazis.
Now after when Zelensky is selling out Ukraine, made worthless to the good side, is when Ukraine is a ragging homosexual.
Ukraine losing their economic sovereignty by the Jew Zelensky makes Ukraine unattractive and ugly.
Ukraine is gay.
