The British paper The Telegraph claims to have has access to a draft of the ‘pre-decisional contract’, sent by the US to Volodymyr Zelensky, dealing with a demand for a $500bn ‘payback’ from Ukraine for the aid already delivered.

The document, marked ‘Privileged & Confidential’ and dated Feb 7 2025, has caused ‘consternation and panic’ in Kiev, according to the Telegraph report.

The writer Ambrose Evans Pritchard is ‘shocked’ by the draconian terms, calls it ‘economic colonization of Ukraine’, a ‘burden of reparations that cannot possibly be achieved’.

(“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 Art of the Deal has them in a panic!

First comment at the end of the article is worth noting:

"Funny how when he starts pulling on the Ukraine string the politicians in DC and the EU are the ones to cry out. Almost like they are directly tied to all that money..."

Sounds apt, doesn't it?

[OHPatriot]

FINE, make The UK, Germany and France pay the $500 BILLION.

THEY love the Greasy Little Green Faggot so much, then THEY can pay the bill!!!!

Why would they send anything legit to Zelinski? He’s in panic mode and is currently off loading billions to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. He’s going to make a run for it before it all falls down.

shall be governed by New York law

Big mistake! New York is a corrupt, failed state, like Zimbabwe or Venezuela.

Use Texas or Florida law.

[Macho MAGA Man]

Yep 👍

Loans to poor credit risks need to be collateralized. Don’t take it personally.

(He’s going to make a run for it before it all falls down.)

I have a feeling he’s going to end up like Mussolini.

It’s not just him. We have a ministry in Ukraine. They are grifters and a hole to throw money in. We bought them a building they came back later asking for rent. The government had taken the building and sold it.

The New York legislature changed New York law specifically so that they could launch a Bill of Attainder against President Trump.

Now the New York legislature is considering changing New York law specifically to keep Rep. Stefanick’s House seat open to weaken the Republican majority in the House.

The idea of having an important international agreement subject to New York law is seriously misguided.

America getting a share of the economic value associated with Ukraine, including mineral resources and oil and gas resources, sounds good.

[Macho MAGA Man]

Every American should get a royalty mineral check a month from Ukrainian natural resources as payback for the wasteful billions sent to them from Biden.

[Arcadian Empire]

Great idea.

[glennaro]

A few in the UK government may have read The Art of the Deal, but it's clear that damn few understand it. They're addled and thus afraid. What they do know and understand however, is that what they think about this -- well, if truth be told, what they think about anything having to do with American foreign policy under Trump -- is damn near irrelevant.

This agreement shall be governed by New York law.

Really?

[M.K. Borders]

Maybe the rush to war would not be so inviting if everyone had to pay the bill.

This agreement shall be governed by New York law, without regard to conflict of laws principles’, it states.

This makes me doubt the whole thing. New York law? And Trump agreed???
