The $2.4 billion security assistance package to Ukraine, announced by Joe Biden in 2023, raises questions about whether the war is motivated by humanitarianism or corporate interests.
European corporations have reportedly bought more land in Western Ukraine than Russians have taken in the East, potentially eroding Ukraine’s sovereignty.
An IMF loan to Ukraine in 2021 included conditions allowing foreign corporations to buy large tracts of land, further complicating the country’s economic landscape.
The allocation of $2.4 billion to Ukraine contrasts with domestic needs, such as support for victims of Hurricane Helena and fires in Maui, highlighting potential misalignment in US government priorities.
The ongoing aid to Ukraine may be perpetuating an unwinnable conflict, potentially risking nuclear war, while diverting resources from pressing domestic issues like border security.
