Let The Ukraine Quid Pro Quo Africa Tour Begin!
Selling More Than 100% Of Reconstruction Opportunities To Get Support?
Careful About Political Ponzi Scheme.
“The ministry said Kuleba would also discuss during his tour the supply of Ukrainian grain to the region and the participation of African companies in the reconstruction of Ukraine.”
Overwhelming Percentage Of Direct Foreign Investment (DFI) In Ukraine Connected To Companies Located In European Union And Turkiye.
Taxpayers In The EU, In NATO Member Countries, And In The United States Will Continue To Demand Rewards For Their Financial Support For Ukraine.
Problem for the government of Ukraine, and particularly for Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine (2019- ), is heads of state, heads of government, and heads of companies know the strategy of the government of Ukraine- focus upon the number of countries it can place upon lists of “supporting Ukraine” while knowing the list does not necessarily equate to “supporting Ukraine” at the expense of other bilateral relationships and multilateral relationships, particularly those in place with the government of the Russian Federation and with the government of the People’s Republic of China.
Governments on the continent of Africa also know companies located in countries which had an operational presence in Ukraine prior to 24 February 2022 will be front-runners for reconstruction contracts.
On 24 February 2022, the armed forces of the Russian Federation invaded and further invaded the territory of Ukraine in what Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation (2000-2008 and 2012- ), defined as a Special Military Operation [SMO] then on 22 December 2022 he redefined as a war. The initial invasion of Ukraine by the armed forces of the Russian Federation was in part from the territory of Belarus.
The war between the Russian Federation and Ukraine did not commence on 24 February 2022. The roots began their trajectories on 20 February 2014 when the armed forces of the Russian Federation invaded the Crimean Peninsula and the area known as the Donbas Region (Donetsk Oblast and Luhansk Oblast).
Governments whose taxpayers are sourcing the majority of assistance and reconstruction donations, and reconstruction contracts (particularly contracts awarded since 24 February 2022), will be first-in-line… and if the government of Ukraine forgets, heads of state and heads of government will forcefully remind the government of Ukraine that they expect companies in their countries to be rewarded for the contributions (sacrifices) of their taxpayers. Since 24 February 2022, global taxpayer funded assistance commitments to Ukraine are approaching US$400 billion.
Ministry of Economy of Ukraine: “As of December 31, 2021, the largest volumes of direct investments (balances) were channeled to industrial enterprises - 43.7 percent and institutions and organizations engaged in wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles - 15.5 percent. The main investor countries include Cyprus - 31.7 percent, the Netherlands - 21.6 percent, Switzerland - 5.8 percent, the Great Britain - 4.6 percent, Germany - 4.6 percent, Austria - 3.0 percent, Luxembourg – 2.4 percent and France – 2.0 percent.”
If governments believe the government of Ukraine is embracing a Ponzi Scheme- promising far more opportunities than are reasonably anticipated, there will be political consequences.
The most probable consequences are governments supporting face-to-face negotiations by the government of Ukraine with the government of the Russian Federation rather than continued made-for-television summits.
That transformation has already commenced with an increasing number of governments primarily based upon a lack of substantive changes during more than one year in real estate control within the internationally-recognized territory of Ukraine.

“Ukraine Foreign Minister Heads To Africa To Win Support In War Against Russia
KYIV, 4 August 2024 (Reuters) - Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba will visit three African countries this week in an effort to drum up support for Kyiv's position in its war with Russia, his ministry said on Sunday. Kuleba, on his fourth diplomatic tour to Africa in the last two years, will visit Malawi, Zambia and Mauritius on Aug. 4-8, the ministry said in a statement. "All meetings will focus on the development of bilateral relations based on mutual respect and interests. Among the key topics will be the participation of African states in global efforts to restore a just peace for Ukraine and the world," it said. A number of African countries took part in a conference on Ukraine hosted by Switzerland in June but they have mostly been reluctant to join Western efforts to isolate Russia, an important supplier of energy and commodities. The ministry said Kuleba would also discuss during his tour the supply of Ukrainian grain to the region and the participation of African companies in the reconstruction of Ukraine.” (underline added)
