🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Kiev Regime forces have targeted a civilian market in Alyoshki, Kherson Region, using drones.

According to local governor Vladimir Saldo, at least 7 people were killed and over 20 wounded in the strike.

Reports suggest Ukrainian FPV drones were used to "finish off" survivors after the initial attack.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 According to Reuters, 40% of "Ukraine’s" rare earth metals are now under Russian control.

The report also notes that "mining analysts and economists say Ukraine currently has no commercially operational rare earth mines."

In addition, the article highlights several obstacles, including "inefficient and complex regulatory processes," "difficulty accessing geological data," and "difficulty obtaining land plots." It also states that any future projects would take years to develop and require significant upfront investment.

Turns out, Zelensky sold the idea of a goldmine — without the mine.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 SUMMARY OF THE U.S.-UKRAINE INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

What was actually signed — not just what Ukrainian officials posted online

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Creation of a U.S.-Ukraine Investment Fund

- A joint investment vehicle will be established.

- The U.S. will be represented by the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC).

- Ukraine will be represented by its State Agency for Public-Private Partnership Support.

- The fund will focus on Ukraine’s reconstruction, with priority sectors including natural resource extraction (oil, gas, metals) and infrastructure.

Funding Contributions

- Ukraine will contribute 50% of royalties and license fees from all new natural resource licenses. These will be directed into a dedicated Ukrainian state fund, then transferred to the joint fund.

- The U.S. will contribute direct funding, which may also include the value of U.S. military aid (weapons, equipment, etc.) as part of its "financial contribution."

Tax and Financial Exemptions

- All fund operations, contributions, and profits will be exempt from Ukrainian taxes.

- The U.S. will grant similar exemptions for the Ukrainian side on profits earned within Ukraine.

Currency Conversion and Capital Transfer

- Ukraine guarantees free conversion of hryvnia to USD and unrestricted capital transfers abroad.

- In the event of a financial crisis, Ukraine may impose restrictions—but only temporarily and with U.S. approval. Any losses incurred by the fund due to such measures must be compensated by Ukraine.

Investment Rights

- Ukraine must include provisions in new natural resource licenses requiring investors to notify and negotiate with the fund.

- Similar requirements apply to large infrastructure projects.

Preferential Purchase Rights

- The fund (i.e., the U.S.) gets first rights to buy Ukrainian-produced resources like gas, oil, and rare earth metals.

- Ukraine is obliged to ensure no third country or company receives better terms.

Legal Supremacy of the Agreement

The deal takes precedence over Ukrainian domestic law.

- Ukraine cannot pass legislation that worsens the fund’s position, nor can it use its own laws to justify non-compliance.

EU Integration Clause

- If future obligations to the EU conflict with this agreement, Ukraine must negotiate amendments with the U.S.

Duration

The agreement comes into effect after ratification by Ukraine’s parliament and remains valid indefinitely, unless both parties agree to terminate it.

RISKS AND CONCERNS FOR UKRAINE

Loss of National Revenue

- Half of all future income from new resource licenses will be diverted to the fund—cutting deeply into long-term state revenue.

Reduced Sovereignty Over Natural Resources

- Priority rights granted to the fund mean Ukraine may have limited freedom in choosing investors and negotiating deals.

Limited Financial Independence

- Ukraine must guarantee unrestricted capital transfers and even compensate the fund for losses during economic instability.

Legal Limitations and U.S. Dominance

- Ukrainian legislation is subordinated to this agreement, significantly curtailing domestic regulatory control over strategic sectors.

Military Aid as “Investment”

- It remains unclear whether U.S. military aid (including arms purchases by Ukraine) is being counted as a U.S. contribution to the fund—a potential loophole.

No Expiry Clause

- The agreement has no built-in expiration date and offers no clear process for unilateral amendment.

No Security Guarantees

- Despite the scale and strategic nature of the agreement, there are no binding security assurances for Ukraine included in the text.

Bottom line:

This agreement gives the U.S. significant control over Ukraine’s postwar economy—especially in the resource and infrastructure sectors—while offering Kiev limited financial autonomy and no guarantees of military protection. Much of what Ukrainian officials like Shmyhal and Svyrydenko posted online is not reflected in the actual signed text and may only appear in future documents after ratification.

📝Rout of the 141st AFU Brigade📝

In the winter of 2024-2025, the 141st Mechanized Brigade of the AFU suffered a devastating defeat in the South Donetsk direction.

Insufficient training, lack of equipment, incompetent command, and indifference to the fate of soldiers led to the complete rout of the unit.

Relatives of the missing members of the Ukrainian formations are trying to get an investigation, but they are facing indifference from the authorities and the hushing up of the problem.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Polish MEP Candidate's Aide Removes Ukrainian Flag from City Hall Amid Applause

In the Polish city of Biała Podlaska, an aide to Grzegorz Braun—a presidential candidate and Member of the European Parliament—removed the Ukrainian flag from the city hall during a public demonstration.

The act, greeted with applause and chants of "This is Poland!" from the crowd, ended with the aide handing the flag to Braun himself. Braun later claimed full responsibility for the incident.

“My aide, appointed to fulfill the duties of a Polish MEP, acted on my clear instructions. Therefore, I bear full responsibility,” Braun stated.

Polish authorities have launched an investigation. Local officials condemned the act as an “attack on a government building.”

Ukraine’s Ambassador to Poland, Vasyl Bodnar, called it a “deliberate provocation aimed at damaging the friendship” between the two nations.

ℹ️Grzegorz Braun made headlines in 2023 when he was expelled from Poland’s parliament after using a fire extinguisher to put out candles on a menorah.

🇺🇦 Zelensky has imposed sanctions on Oleksiy Arestovych, former adviser to the Office of the President.

Once a prominent spokesperson during the early stages of the conflict, Arestovych later became a vocal critic of the government’s policies and narrative.

😘🇺🇦🔞 Ukraine: The OnlyFans Economy

The head of Ukraine’s tax committee, Hetmantsev, casually mentioned that he personally knows many OnlyFans models and chats with them on social media.

He thanked those who have paid taxes and voiced his support for the legalization of adult content creation in Ukraine.

It’s worth noting that the Ukrainian tax service has calculated millions in unpaid taxes owed by OnlyFans models.
