The Great Grain Grab: Ukrainian companies are facing takeover attempts by US Hedge funds “for their own long term gain”

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 10:22:53 GMT

“War has always been a racket, and it is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, and, surely, the most vicious,” said Smedley Butler, once the most decorated US Marine in history before becoming an author and anti-war advocate.Before dying in 1940, Butler said that during his 33-year military career, he was primarily “a high-class muscle man for Big Business, Wall Street, and the bankers.”The war in Ukraine seems to be taking a similar path. War profiteers have already made billions of dollars from death and misery in the country. A Reuters report reveals oil companies made nearly $220 billion in profits in 2022, “a windfall of Russia`s invasion of Ukraine,” as President Joe Biden recently critiqued.When the war ends, rebuilding Ukraine will represent a trillion-dollar opportunity for US and European construction companies, who are already planning how to get their hands on those profits.Opportunist Hedge funds have also emerged as significant war profiteers.

The approaching year 2023 is expected to be a challenging and eventful one. While significant achievements have been acknowledged, there is ongoing debate about their sufficiency and what can enhance them further. Partnerships are seen as a key avenue for progress, and there is a mutual understanding that collaboration can yield greater outcomes - writes Vitaliy Gersak, volunteer soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, lieutenant colonel, civil activist, and founder of the public organization "Free and Faithful".There is a growing realization that a radical and unequivocal change in the ongoing conflict is imperative. While some advocate for a political and diplomatic breakthrough, others mistakenly view negotiations with the enemy and maintaining the current front-line Status Quo as a solution. The latter is deemed dangerous and misguided, as it fails to bring us closer to peace.For Ukraine, this war is a battle for survival against total destruction, but it holds equal significan...
