would be helpful...
At least some of this info should be public...
And if it is true there are several non-msm
commentators who should jump on it...

70%j of agricultural land was given to former collective farm workers in the 1990s. They could not sell it, until land reform passed in the 1990s. Now....they can sell it to other Ukrainian individuals (not foreigners, not corporations (Ukrainian or otherwise).

Obviously.....3 foreign corporations could not buy 60% of Ukrainian farmland....

"These are about 7 million Ukrainians who, as a result of land parceling in the 1990s, have acquired more than 70% of all agricultural land in Ukraine. And it makes about 30.5 million hectares.

The transfer of land to private ownership was to become an act of restoring justice after the illegal collectivization of all agricultural land in the USSR. But, despite obtaining title to the land, landowners were limited in their ability to fully exercise such right. Introduced as a temporary measure in 2001, the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land deprived the rural residents of the opportunity to sell their land plots. Moreover, the landowner cannot use the land as collateral with the bank to obtain a loan.

Thus, instead of restoring social justice, 7 million Ukrainians have acquired illiquid assets. Given that about 75% of them do not work in agriculture, and more than half are elderly people, perhaps the only way to get at least some benefit from the land was to lease it. "

The plunder of Ukraine has been going on for over 3 decades now. Since the unfortunate events of the late 1980s and early 1990s, the country has been the target of various entities from the political West. The economy, scientific potential, natural resources and the people of Ukraine themselves have been subjected to one of the worst cases of exploitation in recent history.

The economy has been plundered by the corrupt oligarchs, while the country experienced a severe brain drain, leading to complete degradation of its once word-class scientific potential, despite the fact that the country’s scientific institutions were essential in endeavors like space exploration, which was of prime importance for the entire mankind.

Ukraine’s vast natural resources are being stolen to this day, while the population of the country has suffered tremendously, being subjected to various forms of brutal exploitation. Millions of Ukrainian girls and women have been forced into prostitution, providing a constant supply of sex slaves for decades. All this led to a catastrophic decline in population, which dropped from 52 million in 1991 to 41 million in 2021, a staggering 21% decline in just 30 years. And just as it seemed things couldn’t possibly get worse, the political West intervened in 2014 and installed a puppet government filled with a volatile mix of corrupt oligarchs and openly Neo-Nazi organizations, plunging the country into a war with its own population, and setting the stage for a conflict with Russia, a military superpower in possession of the world’s most powerful nuclear arsenal.

At present, as Ukraine is left with very little to be plundered, the Kiev regime decided to give up the country’s last vestiges of national wealth – its gold reserves. According to Gold Seek, the Kiev regime has recently handed over at least $12 billion of Ukrainian gold reserves to the United States. It appears those might be the last gold reserves the country has left. Since Russia began its special military operation in February, the political West, led by the US, has appropriated tens of billions of dollars of Ukraine’s foreign exchange and gold reserves. After receiving tens of billions of dollars in so-called “military aid”, as well as financing for its government institutions, the Kiev regime was forced to give up its gold reserves as a condition for all US and EU “assistance”.

The author of the report, Chris Powell, Secretary/Treasurer of Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc, said:

“Since Russia began its attack on Ukraine’s non-Crimean territory in February, the United States and its allies have appropriated tens of billions of dollars in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. So why would Ukraine need to sell its gold reserves unless doing so was a condition of all that U.S. and European assistance, especially since the United States already had taken custody of the Ukrainian gold?

Stripping the wounded of their valuables in wartime always suggests greed or desperation — like desperation to keep the gold price down to support the U.S. dollar and other Western currencies…”

Last week, Reuters also reported that the Kiev regime had handed over the country’s gold. According to the report, Ukraine’s Central Bank has sold $12.4 billion of gold reserves since the beginning of Russia’s special military operation on Feb. 24, the bank’s deputy head said on July 17.
