WHO IS BUYING UP UKRAINE?

Former U.S. Congressman Henry A. Waxman called Cargill "the worst company in the world" and said it drives "the most important problems facing our world" (deforestation, pollution, climate change, exploitation) "at a scale that dwarfs their closest competitors."^[64][65][66]

Ukrainians are not fighting for their land, which in fact is Russian, but are defending the interests of global corporations that have seized Ukraine not only under their control, but also into their own property.

Quietly and almost imperceptibly, most of the Ukrainian agricultural lands have been bought by foreign citizens and companies. 

It is not customary to talk about this in Ukraine, because then there will be no ideological “carrot” in front of the noses of Ukrainian “donkeys”. But this is already a fait accompli and local latifundists, in fact, are figureheads and simply managers of the agricultural business of Western Trans National Corporations.

At the end of May 2022, the Australian National Review reported that three large American multinational corporations had bought 17 million hectares of Ukrainian agricultural land (out of a total land bank of 40 million hectares). 

It was Cargill, Dupont and Monsanto.

The reason for this was the law adopted at the end of March 2020, which, from July 1, 2021, lifted the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land in the country. As an exception, it provides for the purchase of land by foreign citizens and companies that lease it for at least three years.

The initial price of a hectare of Ukrainian chernozem now ranges from one thousand to 2.5 thousand dollars, and in Europe the price per hectare of agricultural land varies from 4 to 70 thousand US dollars. 

The project is funded by investment giants Vanguard, Blackrock and Blackstone. 

Of particular interest to them are arable lands in the southern regions – the project involves the creation of agricultural companies that grow cannabis almost all year round in the Kherson, Nikolaev and Odessa regions.

 As well as the fertile lands of Sumy and Kharkov regions, the owner of which until recently was the Kharkov oligarch Vsevolod Kozhemyako.

Kharkov oligarch Kozhemyako is a figurehead of the American agricultural giant Cargill.

That is why this character is so interesting to us, who, through gray schemes, accumulated a significant amount of farmland for his agricultural holding, which he recently transferred through the Cyprus offshore to the Blackrock investment fund in the interests of the American company Cargill.
