Ukraine Invests in Western Border – $1.5B Ski Resort
Armstrong Economics ^ | 20 Mar 25 | Martin Armstrong

Posted on 03/20/2025 6:28:31 AM PDT by delta7

THE FIRST ALL-SEASON MOUNTAIN RESORT IN UKRAINE WITH AN INTERNATIONAL FORMAT, A HOLISTIC CONCEPT AND THE BROADEST PALETTE OF IMPRESSIONS, SERVICES AND ATTRACTIONS”

The war in Ukraine has left the nation utterly insolvent, almost entirely reliant on foreign aid. President Zelensky claims he cannot account for billions in aid, urging world leaders to send more rapidly as he must prevent Russia from invading all of Europe. Peace is not an option as “the worst conflict since World War II” rages on with no end in sight. In the meantime, Ukraine spent £1.2 billion ($1.5 billion) to improve its tourism sector by building a massive luxury ski resort.

The luxury resort will span 2,965 acres, feature 25 hotels with 5,5000 rooms, with 41 ski slopes spanning 46.6 miles. The GORO Mountain Resort project was supposed to begin in 2022, but was delayed due to the obvious. OKKO Group, Ukraine’s largest network of gas stations, suddenly changed plans and believes now is the time to begin building the project that will take an estimated 15 years to complete.

As a bonus, GORO Mountain Resort will be located in Lviv, adjacent to Ukraine’s border with Poland. Poland’s defense budget has multiplied as it rushes to fight off Russian aggression at its own border. Donald Tusk has demanded that every male in Poland undergo military training, and he plans to expand the nation’s 200,000 army to one boasting 500,000 troops, which would make it the third-largest military force in NATO behind the United States and Turkey. In November 2024, 55% of Poles said they supported ending the war even if Ukraine was forced to surrender territory. The people do not want war but those at the helm will send them off to die under the guise of protecting national sovereignty.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has threatened neighboring nations like Poland with untold repercussions if they fail to strangle their own agricultural sector by extending Ukraine’s duty-free trade deal. Ukraine has warned that Eastern European nations will suffer the worst of the consequences.

Yet, the GORO Mountain Resort boasts easy access to those neighboring nations, with direct train travel from “Vienna, Budapest, Kyiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Kharkiv, and more, with the Slavsko station (5 km from the resort).”

Ukraine claims that Russian gas may not pass through its nation as it does not its foe to receive a single euro. Zelensky and others do not care that their allied neighbors like Hungary and Slovakia desperately need the gas line reimplemented in order to provide their nations with essential energy. Perhaps the Ukrainian government could suggest an alternative through a company such as OKKO Group.

It was a known fact that Ukraine was a corrupt nation before the war began and the government rebranded itself as a delicate victim that simply wants the best for its people—its people who have been sent off to die while those in charge refuse to negotiate with Russia.

Zelensky has also said that the war will last for many years to come, yet his war-ravaged nation plans to build a billion-dollar resort near its border with Poland to attract tourism.

Greed and corruption will be the end of Ukraine. In fact, based on our computer model, there will be no Ukraine in 15 years when this facility is set to open.

The Western media is also light on reporting the cartel violence in Mexico, the daily cartel violence in Messico.

Will be a good prize for Poland.

That part of what is now Ukraine was "Galicia", a province of Poland before WWII and of the Austro-Hungarian Empire before WWI. Not the Russian province of Ukraine.

Before the "kill the messenger" arguments appear on this thread, here is some info which is easily examined from the Ukrainian site itself:
The largest recreation project in the Lviv Carpathians START OF INVESTMENT IN THE FIRST HOTEL COMPLEX OF THE RESORT "Become an investor"

A whois query shows their web domain was registered 2024-09-12, and updated most recently on 2024-11-17.

Looks as if the OKKO folks are hoping to suck in "investors" as above, so as to fund their project -- which isn't planned to be finished for years and years. OKKO unloading "shares" to the unsuspecting with this website offering, made only months back? Seems likely.

Which opens the question of permanent Peace. The most obvious has been discussed in private but never publicly.

Carve up Ukraine to its historic roots. Unbeknownst, it has already started.

Giving back territory to the previous owners, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, and Russia. Russia now has its ethnic Russian provinces back, returned unfortunately by force. That was a good start, had the Ukies observed the failed Minsk Agreement, they may have survived.

GREAT - Second thread I’ve tried to read and come away with WHO IS WHO? When did writers forget the basics of writing? Some of us thought we should just give up for the day and I’m for that. Waste of time reading and having more questions when you’re finished than at the beginning. I’ll wait for someone to tell me “look it up.” SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY!

Who in the dickens is Donald Tusk?

“”Donald Tusk has demanded that every male in Poland undergo military training””

“”believes now is the time to begin building the project””

Of course it is. Doesn’t everyone come up with bright ideas like this in a country in the middle of a war with Russia?

————
I will put it as gently as I can, if you don’t know who Tusk is, any “ opinions” offered on the Ukie war are just ignorant.

Those closely following this war dig deeper, we refuse to buy into the corrupted western MSM narrative (Senile Joe and Democrats) we have heard over and over.

I see you are not now referring to historical owners as yo previously did as, historically, part of Russia once belonged to Ukraine.

The Western media is also light on reporting the corruption in Russia.

“When did writers forget the basics of writing? “

Armstrong is not here to inform. He is trolling for suckers willing to pay for his worthless subscription.

Once again, Armstrong lies. Ukraine has not spent $1.5 billion.

It is a private venture with investments to be spent over 15 years.

Better tell Trump before he invests in Ukraine.

Is that the same model that predicted there would be no U.S.A. after 2026?
