Let’s connect the dots. Kushner talks to Putin. Kushner talks to Zelenskyy with Fink on the line. Fink’s company wants to manage the rebuilding of everything Putin’s army destroys. This isn’t diplomacy in any traditional sense, it’s a three-way business development call. The ‘peace plan’ is just the terms.
Here’s how it works: BlackRock will structure loans to Ukraine, taking fees on every transaction. These loans will come with conditions such as austerity measures, privatisation requirements or favourable terms for foreign investors. Ukrainian state assets will be sold off at bargain prices. Agricultural land will be bought up by international agribusiness. The infrastructure rebuilt with these loans—ports, rail lines, power grid—won’t be Ukrainian in any meaningful sense. It’ll be owned by international consortiums, operated for profit, with revenues flowing out to service the debt.
In other words, Ukraine will be gutted.
This is the IMF playbook that’s subjugated the Global South for decades. Now it’s coming to Europe. And BlackRock, with $10 trillion in assets under management, will be there at every step, taking its cut.
Everyone else is busy arguing whether we can “afford” to give Ukraine “free stuff”, when in reality none of it is free, and whatever few Ukrainians are left alive after this war will be paying onerous debt for generations. They’re already auctioning off many public assets to mostly foreign buyers at fire sale prices, up to and including seaports.
And it’s been bipartisan. Or was this just a coincidence?
“Why did the Ukraine, the FBI informant file refer to you as the ‘big guy?'” Biden was asked by a New York Post reporter at the end of a press conference.
