Part 6/9:
The leaked details of the initial draft of the agreement are striking. Under the proposed terms, the U.S. would retain 50% of recurring revenues generated from Ukraine's resource extraction, alongside half the financial value of new licenses issued to other parties. The sheer scale of the deal meant that the U.S. would control significant parts of Ukraine's extractable mineral wealth and essential infrastructure.
Critics have condemned the agreement, branding it an attempt to economically colonize Ukraine. This sentiment raises profound concerns regarding the sovereignty of the nation and its ability to independently manage its resources in the long run.
