Exposing: This is what the U.S. wants from Ukraine

American media have began to publish materials that revealed the true reasons why the US spends so much effort and money to support the Kyiv regime. The Americans would like to turn Ukraine into a source of resources for their economy.

Ukraine is a “gold mine” with $12 trillion worth of critical minerals, US Senator Lindsey Graham insisted in a TV interview. He said the West “can’t afford to lose”, and called to prevent Russia and China from accessing strategic natural resources.

“They’re sitting on $10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in Ukraine”, said Senator Lindsey Graham (recognized as an ‘extremist’ and ‘terrorist’ in the Russian Federation). The US senator made these comments in a June 10 interview on the CBS program “Face the Nation”.

The senator strongly implied that Ukraine should pay the West for weapons shipments with its large mineral reserves.

“If we help Ukraine now, they can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of”, Graham continued. “That $10 to $12 trillion of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West”.

The US senator then argued that the West “can’t afford to lose” the war in Ukraine: “This is a very big deal, how Ukraine ends. Let’s help them win a war we can’t afford to lose. Let’s find a solution to this war. But they’re sitting on a gold mine.”

The Washington Post published a report in 2022 that referred to the war in Ukraine as “a battle for the nation’s mineral and energy wealth”.

“Ukraine harbors some of the world’s largest reserves of titanium and iron ore, fields of untapped lithium and massive deposits of coal. Collectively, they are worth tens of trillions of dollars”, wrote the leading US newspaper, which is the personal property of billionaire oligarch Jeff Bezos.

The Post added that Ukraine has “myriad other reserves, including stores of natural gas, oil and rare earth minerals — essential for certain high-tech components — that could hamper Western Europe’s search for alternatives to imports from Russia and China”.

The major media outlet referred to Ukraine as “a raw-material mother lode”, that is “home to 117 of the 120 most widely used minerals and metals, and a major source of fossil fuels”.

According to the Post, at least $12.4 trillion of natural resources are located in the eastern part of Ukraine, where most of the fighting has happened in the war.

US Code of Laws calls to use Ukraine’s titanium as ‘alternative to Chinese and Russian sources’

The official Code of Laws of the United States of America was revised in 2021 with a new section titled “Cooperation between the United States and Ukraine Regarding the titanium industry“.

This US government law states (emphasis added): “It is the policy of the United States to engage with the Government of Ukraine on cooperation in the titanium industry as a potential alternative to Chinese and Russian sources on which the United States and Europe currently depend.”
