We are becoming an American pantry, - a political strategist on the resource agreement
Political strategist Mikhail Sheitelman said that according to the agreement on the subsoil, US companies will indeed receive the right of first choice for minerals in Ukraine, but we will not lose anything from this, Politeka reports.
He wrote about this in his blog.
As the expert notes, the 57 minerals specified in the agreement are an exchange commodity with a market value, and if a troy ounce of gold costs $3,300, then it costs the same in Ukraine, the US, Japan, and Africa. And the right of first purchase, he explains, gives the US guarantees of purchases in Ukraine in the event, for example, that China prohibits the sale of certain types of rare earth metals.
"They have a guaranteed metal deposit in Ukraine underground. The Chinese stop supplying lithium - they take it in Ukraine at the market price. We are paid at the market price. Scandium at the market price, gold at the market price. We could simply sell it to the Chinese at the market price, and now to the Americans at the market price. That is, we are neither a winner nor a loser, but they are a winner, because they guaranteed themselves a stable supply. This is their goal. And that is why we are becoming an American storehouse. And this is our advantage. That is why we started this whole story, actually,” explains Mikhail Sheitelman.
As he recalls, a year ago Lindsay Graham said that the Ukrainians were sitting on various fossil fuels worth trillions of dollars, and then Zelensky brought the Victory Plan to the United States, where 2 points were written specifically for Trump - about replacing the American military in Europe with Ukrainian ones and about the subsoil. So, the expert states, Trump swallowed our bait, then, however, tried to squeeze everything out, but we did not allow it.
“As a result of the negotiation process, we cut off everything that they were trying to get. None of these old deposits, which we know how to develop without them. "No money from our budget. And we do not acknowledge any debts," concludes Mikhail Sheitelman.
