Who Really Profits from The Ukraine War?

Excerpt:
"Few people understand what the war in Ukraine means for big business—namely, opportunity. It’s not just the weapons and reconstruction contracts. Ukraine’s vast agricultural lands—among the most fertile in the world—are up for grabs, and American companies like BlackRock are at the front of the line. RFK Jr. Deftly and clearly explains.
JP Morgan and BlackRock — From Financiers of Destruction to Half-Trillion Dollar ‘Heroes’ of Reconstruction – The Hypocrisy of Reconstruction of Ukraine by the Same Corporations that Profited from the War
JP Morgan and BlackRock, along with consultancy McKinsey & Company, are collaborating with the Ukrainian government to establish a reconstruction fund. The objective of this fund is to attract significant investments for the country’s reconstruction, which could cost between $400 billion and $1 trillion, depending on estimates. This fund, known as the Fund for the Development of Ukraine, will use a “blended finance” approach to mobilize both public and private capital, targeting priority sectors such as infrastructure, climate and agriculture.
BlackRock and JP Morgan offered their services pro bono to manage this fund, leveraging their expertise in financial markets and debt management. The intention is that this fund can begin to operate fully once the war ends, although planning is already underway and has been discussed at recent international conferences.
The recent partnership between JP Morgan, BlackRock and McKinsey & Company to rebuild Ukraine highlights the bitter irony of the current geopolitical situation. In a deal that aims to raise hundreds of billions of dollars for the reconstruction of war-torn Ukraine, these American financial giants now position themselves as the economic saviors of a country whose destruction, in part, was facilitated by policies and actions in financial markets that they themselves dominated and shaped."

The Ukraine had, and still has most likely, huge debt, as many loans were made to this country following its resurgence after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Loss of the Ukraine means less payment can be made on the debt. Ukraine has also applied for membership to the EU. I do not know how that is going now.
RFK may be great with healthcare, but he doesn't seem to know what is going on in the Ukraine.
This war is about something other than profits for multi-national corporations.
And the other thing is, I wonder if there is even going to be a 'Ukraine' left to lend money to. But if there is, it will not contain the Donbas. Are Black Rock and Morgan unintelligent investing and hedging corporations?
(I had to think about this for a while.)
The intent is to pull that diseased faction of humanity up by the roots.
more about the people living in the Donbas (not that I think that is the entire motive of Putin's
invasion.)
In 2023 foodstuff made up over 50% of Ukraine's exports with iron/steel/ore at 12%.
That was after the war reduced Ukraine's food production by more than 20% as farming was
disrupted by war. World food prices increased to all time highs. Russia has profited in the
export of food as a result.
War is almost always primarily about tangible assets and power.
I think that is the case in Ukraine, too.
I also think that Putin is a Russian patriot, not just a power-mad tyrant as depicted by the west.
Of course, I do agree on your comment about how profits come from weapons.
I also wonder how the war has affected the planned research and production in the ~2 dozen
bio-labs that were 'discovered', and if that was to become a much larger source of revenue
for Ukraine. I know that if I discovered such labs being constructed by my neighbors, I
would be very concerned and probably decide to take action to stop them.
"On 2 February 2023, the European Commission published an analytical report on Ukraine's alignment with the EU acquis, "complet[ing] the Commission's Opinion on Ukraine's application for membership of the EU adopted on 17 June 2022".[89]
On 8 November 2023, the European Commission recommended opening accession negotiations with Ukraine.[33] On 14 December 2023, the European Council decided to open accession negotiations with Ukraine.[90] On 21 June 2024, the European Union agreed to start membership negotiations with Ukraine.[13][91] Accession negotiations began on 25 June 2024, at the same time as those with Moldova.[13][92]
On 13 November 2024, the Ukrainian Government announced the completion of the screening of the first cluster of negotiation chapters.[93]"
Putting what I posted previously to you together with this information, I would say the EU may think that with Ukraine in the EU, that would protect it and the Donbas from 'annexation' by Putin.
Just as I said, 'they' are not going to let go of the Donbas.
I don't think Ukraine is in NATO; isn't there something about a country cannot be at war with any other country when applying for membership? Anyway, seems NATO prefers having the whole 'defense of the Donbas' completely in the hands of the U.S.
You are correct.
And the Deep State does not plan on giving up the Donbas. Nor Crimea, the port on the Mediterranean. Especially to a Russian Federation they cannot control.
This is not about greed or profits. It is never about greed. This is about control.
I was about 13 or 14 when I found this out, reading Ellery Queen's "The King is Dead" (or The King Must Die, something like that). Money is a power tool, and is the accumulation of money for some people is used to control.
I wonder, at times, if the 2020 election was a planned effort at a sting operation, or entrapment of sorts.
