How will the U.S.-Ukraine Investment Fund work?

The Minister of Economy of Ukraine, Yulia Svyrydenko, has clarified how the Fund will work:

2/ The United States will contribute to the Fund. In addition to direct financial contributions, it may also provide new assistance — for example, air defense systems for Ukraine.
3/ Ukraine will contribute 50% of state budget revenues from new rent on new licenses for new areas. Ukraine may also make additional contributions beyond this baseline if it chooses. This is cooperation designed to last for decades.

The truth matters more than propaganda.

As May 9 approaches and the kremlin ramps up its propaganda machine, here’s an important historical correction:

World War II began with collaboration between Nazi Germany and USSR.

1/n Image
2/ Two dictators — Hitler and Stalin — made a secret pact in 1939 to carve up Eastern Europe. The Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement set the stage for the joint destruction of Poland. Hitler invaded from the west on September 1; Stalin followed from the east on September 17.
3/ In the following months, the USSR invaded Finland, annexed the Baltics, and seized territory from Romania. Between 1939 and 1941, the Soviets delivered oil, grain, and raw materials to Nazi Germany — enabling its conquest of Europe.

Russia has officially put forward its own “peace plan,” which blatantly contradicts the U.S. proposal.

Here’s a brief summary:

1/n Image
2/
- Ukraine must not join NATO and must undergo “demilitarization” and “denazification.”
- Russia’s annexation of Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia must be internationally recognized.
3/
- All sanctions against Russia must be lifted, and all frozen russian assets must be returned.
- Russia rejects the U.S. proposal to transfer control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to Washington and Kyiv.

And so it begins.

China has officially claimed sovereignty over a disputed island near the Philippines.

2/ The China Coast Guard landed on Sandy Cay — a small but strategically important sandbank in the South China Sea — planted the national flag, and “exercised sovereign jurisdiction” over the area.
3/ This move was expected, especially after recent discussions about the U.S. potentially recognizing Crimea as russian territory.

You cannot make a deal with a bully.

Once you compromise, he’ll come back and demand more. That’s a truth I learned in middle school.

1/n Image
2/
A bully — three years older and much bigger than me — demanded money. Hoping he’d leave me alone, I paid.

But it didn’t stop there. He came back again. And again.
3/
The bullying only stopped when I told my dad. He had a “heart-to-heart” with the guy.

No negotiation. No compromise. Just firm boundaries. That’s why it worked.
