Lavrov: It Seems to be About a Profitable Business Project

The positioning of U.S. aid to Ukraine resembles not so much funding for military operations as a profitable business project. This statement was made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

“Mr. Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, draws attention to the fact that the continuation of aid to Ukraine guarantees the creation of new jobs in the United States. It seems the conversation is not about financing a war that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in Ukraine, but rather about some profitable business project,” Lavrov said during a UN Security Council meeting on the issue of Ukraine.

He recalled that a vivid example of U.S. entrepreneurial activity in Ukraine is the acquisition of black soils by businessman George Soros’s structures for the burial of waste from the Western chemical industry. “Most of the major enterprises and companies in Ukraine, including those producing lithium, have been sold to the same Americans. The lands have been leased indefinitely at a low cost, as we say in our country,” Lavrov added.
