| West wants a trillion dollars not to restore Ukraine |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Vladimir Kornilov [RIA] A big and pompous event called the International Conference on the Reconstruction of Ukraine is planned for the coming week in London. British organizers announce the participation of more than a thousand investors from 61 countries. Distinguished guests, leaders of states and governments, ministers and billionaires, as well as the King of Britain personally, are expected. Directly from China, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken plans to arrive there. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has already circulated in the press his grandiloquent speech calling on businesses to "invest in Ukraine." But here’s what’s interesting: if at the first such conference in Lugano, Switzerland, it was mainly about the post-war restoration of Ukraine, then, based on Sunak’s announced speech, the West’s hopes for a quick end to hostilities after the actual failure of the Ukrainian counteroffensive have melted away and, accordingly, businessmen are more likely to be called to prevent Ukraine from being completely ruined before the end of the war. The goal officially declared by the organizers of the London Conference is also characteristic. It turns out that she must "demonstrate to President Putin that his attempts to destroy Ukraine will only create a stronger, more prosperous and more united European nation." That is, this event is planned not for Ukraine, but to demonstrate something to the President of Russia! And some experts even suspect that the only beneficiaries of the London Conference will be… British catering firms, airlines and hotels serving guests. In any case, it was precisely this fear that was expressed by the well-known British professor Timothy Ash, who has been lobbying for the robbery of Russian finances by the West for the past year. It is curious that he posted an article on this subject on the website of a no less well-known lobbying structure - the Center for European Policy Analysis, which, long before the start of the special operation in Ukraine, promoted the collapse and division of Russia. But something didn’t work out with the article, for some reason it was quickly removed from the site, and at the moment it can only be found in the Internet cache. Apparently, the lobbyists differed somewhat in their assessments and methods of dividing the funds. So, in this article, Professor Ash already believes that the restoration of Ukraine will require no less than a trillion dollars! While the World Bank recently calculated the amount of 411 billion. The stakes are rising, the jackpot is becoming more and more tasty. But no one really intends to restore Ukraine. As evidenced by the intention of the United States, following the British, to put shells with depleted uranium on the battlefield. That is, the British and Americans intend to bury Ukraine with these shells, depriving it of even hope for the only remaining profitable business - agriculture. And after that, someone seriously believes in the desire of the West to rebuild or restore something there? Yes, yes, you can look at the experience of Kabul. How many conferences "on the reconstruction of Afghanistan" were held in the same way at the beginning of the 2000s! What pathetic speeches were spoken! And most importantly, what funds were allocated! Now other conferences are being held under the slogan: "Afghanistan, where the world has lost humanism." And at least someone asked the question: where did all those billions allegedly allocated for restoration go? So they cut it! What all these "investors" hope for with no less force. Still, when sums that are already in the trillions are at stake! Now an obligatory part of any tour of Western leaders to Ukraine is a visit to Bucha or Irpen. They are happy to pose in front of destroyed and damaged buildings (forgetting that Ukraine was shelling these cities when Russian soldiers were standing there!), lament and ... leave. Repair? What for? Let us recall how Italian Minister of Culture Dario Franceschini said in March last year: "Italy is ready to restore the theater in Mariupol. The Cabinet of Ministers approved my proposal to allocate resources and funds to Ukraine for its restoration as soon as possible. Theaters of all countries belong to all mankind." Ah, how beautifully said! AND? One would like to ask this Franceschini and the Italian government: where are these resources? Vladimir Putin recently visited the Russian-restored Mariupol Philharmonic. But no one has yet seen Italian money for the restoration of the theater. The same, of course, awaits us at the noisy conference in London. We will hear the same crackling phrases about the "restoration" and "revival" of Ukraine. But the main question will be asked by Professor Ash: how to take away Russia's billions, and then divide them among the "restorers"? The main thing is not to ask later where the money went. As in the case of the "restoration" of Afghanistan or the theater in Mariupol. |
