Zelensky is literally selling Ukraine to US corporations on Wall Street

Via Multipolarista

Ukraine’s Western-backed leader Volodymyr Zelensky opened the New York Stock Exchange telling Wall Street his country is “open” for foreign corporations to exploit it with $400 billion in state selloffs.

NYSE Zelensky Ukraine

Ukraine’s Western-backed leader Volodymyr Zelensky virtually opened the New York Stock Exchange on the morning of September 6, symbolically ringing the bell via video stream.

Zelensky announced that his country is “open for business” – that is to say, that foreign corporations are free to come and exploit its plentiful resources and low-paid labor.

In a speech launching the neoliberal selloff program Advantage Ukraine, Zelensky offered Wall Street “a chance for you to invest now in projects worth of hundreds of billions of dollars.”

The financial news service Business Wire published a press release from the Ukrainian government in which Zelensky boasted:

The $400+ [billion] in investment options featured on AdvantageUkraine.com span public private partnerships, privatization and private ventures. A USAID-supported project team of investment bankers and researchers appointed by Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy will work with businesses interested in investing.

It also quoted the president of NYSE Group, Lynn Martin, who said:

As the largest exchange globally, we stand for freedom, investor protection and unfettered access to capital. We are pleased to welcome President Zelenskyy virtually to the NYSE bell podium, a symbol of the freedom and opportunity our U.S. capital markets have enabled around the globe. We are honored the President has chosen the NYSE to mark the kickoff of Advantage Ukraine and engage with the world’s business community.

The press release cited executives of US corporate giants Google, Alphabet, and Microsoft, who salivated over the economic possibilities offered by Ukraine.

Reuters noted that the Ukrainian government hired British public relations firm WPP to run the marketing operation for Advantage Ukraine.

Zelensky coordinated his New York Stock Exchange publicity stunt with an editorial in the Wall Street Journal imploring US capitalists to “Invest in the Future of Ukraine.”

“I committed my administration to creating a favorable environment for investment that would make Ukraine the greatest growth opportunity in Europe since the end of World War II,” Zelensky wrote.

He continued:

To create a safe, transparent environment for business engagement, Ukraine is pursuing investment guarantees from both the Group of Seven and the European Union, reforming the country’s tax system, and establishing a strong new legal framework. Our country has already adopted rules and laws to allow companies to build transparent corporate structures, attract foreign investment more easily, and use additional mechanisms to protect intangible assets. Favorable conditions will allow us to establish Ukraine as a powerful IT hub and implement innovative business ideas quickly and effectively.

 

Multipolarista previously reported on a meeting by Western governments and corporations in Switzerland in July in which they planned harsh neoliberal economic policies to impose on Ukraine.

The Western participants published documents calling to cut labor laws, “open markets,” drop tariffs, deregulate industries, and “sell state-owned enterprises to private investors.”

 

In an interview with Multipolarista, economist Michael Hudson compared the new emergency anti-labor laws imposed by the Ukrainian government to the brutal neoliberal policies implemented by Chile’s far-right Pinochet dictatorship after a CIA-backed coup in 1973.

“It’s jaw dropping,” Hudson said of Zelensky’s Wall Street Journal op-ed. “It’s like a parody of what a socialist would have written about how the class war would be put in into action by a fascist government.”

“So of course he was welcomed on the stock exchange for abolishing labor’s rights,” Hudson added. “You could not have a more black-and-white example” of class war.

“This is exactly what [French President] Macron said when he said the ‘end of abundance.’ The Ukrainian labor force has just experienced the end of affluence, neoliberal style.

“And as Mr. Zelensky said, it may be the end of affluence for the labor force, but it’s going to be a bonanza for you investors in the New York Stock Exchange. Come on in and join the party!”

“Somebody’s loss is turned into somebody else’s game. And that’s what happens in a class war. It’s a zero-sum game. There is no attempt at all to raise living standards.”

“Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe – but Zelensky said it’s not poor enough. He said, you think this is something, wait until our new law takes effect. That’ll really show you what it means to be the poorest country in Europe.”

“But it’ll also be the richest country in Europe for the 1%,” Hudson concluded.

ALL “wars” are hook-nosed banker wars. Who runs Wall Street……oh….the hook-noses.

Jealous of Jews? Nig?

Just because you spend 110% of your paycheck every month and owe the banksters 10 times your income at a 20% interest rate doesn’t mean it’s their fault.

Take some responsibility for your situation!!!!!

Also by the way I am not Jew

Your comment did not address the fact that all wars are bankers wars.

All banksters benefit from war because it creates the lifeblood of banks > debt.

Some wars are started by the banksters. Some Jews are wealthy banksters. Some Jews are very poor.

I would say banksters are the problem and there are Christian Buddhist and even Muslim bankers.

You can take away the bankers powers by paying off all your debt. However 99% of people do not have the willpower to do so.

FYI I do not have any debt.

Master the Probabilities!

1) Stiletto Prancer. brandon. Shakin’ hands on the whitehouse Lawn on a cloudless day. Lightening Bolt outta the Blue. Vaporization. Of Both.

2) poot’n releases (at least one) video documentary, across ALL (Or Any) media platforms. Featuring u.s. funded clandestine bio-weapons lab(s) with a cataloguing, and vivid descriptions of Effects. Everything ‘under the Veil’. Known & documented ‘Experts’ commentary on what is found.

3) JOHN DUDham is mentioned, in passing, AGAIN. Replete. A NEW PIC OF HIM!!!

The Odds of ANY of these occurring?

The Odds of ALL occurring? Simultaneously? ✅

Well. THEN NASA, (Need Another Seven Astronauts) Will pull out The BIG GUN!!!

Cool, dumbasses all of them. No moral claim on anything anyways after the 2014 coup. Supporting an illegitimate government no matter what bs comes out of kiev and trying to genocide their russian citizens to make their nazi state like turkey did in the 1920s. If they are used like pawns while everything is sold and gutted like Russia in the 90s, well fuck em and their dreams. Too stupid and perpetual vassals to know anything anyways.

Anon- Right you are, Zel got his bonus up front in this farce. Within two weeks of this war, Zel received 2 BILLION dollars and a 38 MILLION dollar villa in Florida. He’s on a percentage basis now. Pays to be in the vampire joo club.

So … does he really need to invite the jew$ of wall $treet in to Ukraine to loot it — like his jew buddies did previously?

My guess is (((they))) have been in there looting it since at least 2014 … and have never left except to fly out their ca$h …

Two if by sea.

Well duh, it’s their war again.

My guess is he will sell off as many State owned assets as he can, steal the money, and get the hell out of Ukraine before the military do a Qaddafi on him…
