Under the new proposal, all Ukraine’s minerals and energy assets, as well as an American-Ukraine reconstruction in the ports, rails, roads and production facilities-daily, will be under control. Three of the five board members of this fund will be selected by America, which will give Washington a complete ban on selling resources (veto power).
Ukraine will have to pay compensation
