Trump's Grifting "Peace Plan" For Ukraine



The sociopathic, greedy Malignant Fascist, always looking to profit from his position, has had his Kremlin stooge Steve "Dim Philby" Witkoff include a provision in his Russia-drafted 28 point "peace plan" to skim reconstruction project profits off of frozen Russian assets, rather than than using them for Ukraine's war effort. From Politco.eu:

"For months European Union officials have been trying — and failing — to work out a way to use around €140 billion of immobilized Russian state assets held largely in Belgium to support Kyiv’s war effort. The cash is desperately needed as Ukraine is at risk of running out of money early next year. 

Talks in Brussels are now at an extremely delicate stage, diplomats said, as top officials try to finesse a legal text that would enable the frozen funds to be used for a loan to the Ukrainian government. [snip]

But the United States’ new 28-point blueprint for a ceasefire includes a rival idea for using those same assets for American-led reconstruction efforts once a truce has been agreed. The U.S. would take '50 percent' of the profit from this activity, the document said. [snip]

Multiple EU diplomats and officials said they feared the proposals, from Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, would wreck their chances of the loan proposal being agreed by the EU’s 27 governments. European leaders had been hoping to finalize the so-called 'reparations loan' deal at a crunch summit next month.  

A former French official, granted anonymity like others to discuss sensitive matters, said the Witkoff idea 'is, of course, scandalous.' 

'The Europeans are exhausting themselves trying to find a viable solution to use the assets for the benefit of Ukrainians and Trump wants to profit from them,' the person said. 'This proposal is likely to be rejected by everyone.'”

One senior EU official in Brussels scoffed at the idea and noted that whatever he wants, Trump has no power to unfreeze assets held in Europe. An official from an EU government resorted to colorful swearing to express their dismay, while a senior EU politician said: 'Witkoff needs to see a psychiatrist.'”  (our emphasis)

You can be sure that any "reconstruction efforts" under his "plan" will benefit the MF's business and those of his donors (like developer Witkoff), at the expense of actual reconstruction of Ukraine. The obvious way that the MF and his Kremlin stooge Witkoff are trying to grab funds that should go directly to Ukraine's war effort is shameful but in character with his narcissistic greed. 

Also, one must realize that the MF's loathing of Ukraine is connected to his first impeachment, when he tried to extort Ukraine's help in smearing Joe Biden in 2019 in exchange for weapons systems.  Now he's both getting his revenge and trying to profit from it, too.
