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* <www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/02/17/revealed-trump-confidential-plan-ukraine-stranglehold/> .
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.”*
