SLAVA UKRAINE = SLAVE UKRAINE ..

For all of you stPOOTS/russia haters - and zels sycophants..

Ukraine without land and without people...

On January 1, Ukraine launched the second stage of a land reform that has been long demanded by the International Monetary Fund and other Western creditors as a condition for financial assistance to the country. Beginning in 2024, legal entities [companies] can buy agricultural land. Previously, only individuals could do so. As well, the size of a plot that can be purchased has risen to 10,000 hectares (100 square kilometers).

"Ukrainian farmers will return from the front only to find that the country has run out of land for them," warns the Ukrainian Telegram channel .....

In Ukraine, most agricultural land has been bought up by Western agricultural holdings through frontmen, as the Oakland Institute explains in its research report issued in early 2023, titled 'War and Theft: The takeover of Ukraine’s agricultural land'. Now such land acquisition can be done openly and legally...

In general, the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine driven by the interests of foreign (Western) capital threatens to leave the country not only without a viable population but also without land for its people to work and with which to prosper..

Aid provided to Ukraine in recent years has been tied to a drastic structural adjustment program requiring the creation of a land market through a law that leads to greater concentration of land in the hands of powerful interests.

Ukraine’s crippling debt is being leveraged by financial institutions to drive post-war reconstruction towards further privatization and liberalization in several sectors, including agriculture.

nevertheless, all is well with the world - while the conflict is being sold to the gullible as being brave ukrainians fighting for democracy freedom ..

just remember

SLAVA UKRAINE = SLAVE UKRAINE And who will do the fighting ????

By requiring more and more Ukrainians to submit to conscription, the Ukrainian authorities have once again emphasized the class-based nature of the measure.

In its report on Monday, Forbes' source claimed that the presidential administration has been discussing expanding the criteria under which draft exemptions are granted to include employees of the ‘critical sectors’ of the economy and those contributing a set minimum in taxes.

The media outlet, citing an official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, wrote that the threshold discussed last Thursday amounted to 6,000 hryvnias ($157) in taxes per month, which translates to a salary of 33,400 hryvnias ($875). Four separate sources from the country’s parliament confirmed such discussions to Forbes, noting that the idea was still a work in progress.

One anonymous staffer summarized the concept: “You either defend the country in the Ukrainian Armed Forces or support the armed forces and the state economically.” The article noted that President Zelensky’s New Year address to the nation featured a similar refrain....
