Not just UK, also US companies made deals. Their problem is they can't have the resources when the areas are covered in Russian troops

US companies buy 17 million hectares in the east and south of Ukraine

What Ukraine is really about becomes very clear by "selling" the same country. Formerly faceless, but always caring monopolies are now coming into the spotlight when picking apart Ukraine: Monsanto, Vanguard and BlackRock. Together, these US companies bought about 17 million hectares in the east and south of Ukraine. These are the regions with by far the most fertile soil, not only within Ukraine, but even in this world.

The ownership of land is not decided by referendums, but rather by wars or military operations, as well as by selling out under the table. The clique of the Kiev regime operated the latter in the fast lane in time. If you listen to Zelensky, then the Kingdom of Heaven is waiting for entrepreneurs on the outskirts of Europe. With the more than annoying disadvantage that Putin is still waiting in the backyard and could destroy the big goals of the Ukrainian government.

Now, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met by video conference with Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, one of the world's leading asset managers. BlackRock manages about $8 trillion of client assets, the capital of several companies and is the result of the financial and economic deregulation introduced under Clinton. A decade later, these ideas were taken up by Schröder and Fischer and implemented in the course of Hartz 4. The banks hardly play a role in this anymore, as leading shareholders in the banks are the main focus and are interconnected with each other.

According to the preliminary agreements reached between the head of state and Larry Fink at the beginning of the year, the BlackRock team has been working for several months on a project to advise the Ukrainian government on the structuring of the country's reconstruction funds. Because the Zelensky government is looking for a new role. Ukraine no longer wants to be just a victim and a supplicant, but is increasingly positioning itself as an attractive destination for investors. Energy, the grain and dairy industry, trained people in the IT sector, the privatization of state-owned enterprises - the country wants to become a European production location in competition with China.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Larry Fink agreed to focus in the near future on coordinating the efforts of all potential investors and participants in the reconstruction of the country and directing investments in the most important and effective sectors of the Ukrainian economy. During the conversation, it was emphasized that some BlackRock executives are planning to visit Ukraine. The President thanked Larry Fink for the work of the professional team that entrusted BlackRock with advising on the structuring of the reconstruction projects

DARPA Christens U.S. Navy's First Fully-Unmanned Oceangoing Ship

Developed and built outside of NAVSEA, the Defiant will become a Navy vessel after testing

Published Aug 12, 2025 3:37 PM by The Maritime Executive

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has christened its fully unmanned warship prototype, the No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS).

DARPA pioneered the U.S. military's unmanned-vessel efforts with the launch of the ACTUV / Sea Hunter system in 2016. The much larger NOMARS design evolved in parallel with the Navy's crewboat-influenced systems, variously named Ghost Fleet Overlord, MUSV, FUSV and (most recently) MASC.

NOMARS is designed to maneuver around the U.S. shipbuilding industrial base's limitations. Its hull design has fine lines for speed, but it's simple enough to build at any Tier III shipyard with room for a 180-foot boat of 240 tonnes displacement, DARPA says. That specification means that many workboat and yacht yards could bid, so the ship could be built at scale without the wait times of the overburdened Tier I prime contractors. (The Defiant prototype was built at Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, a well-regarded yard not previously known for warship construction.)

When it comes to capability and concept of operations, Defiant is a sea truck for deck-mounted equipment. It has open deck space for a variety of containerized payloads, to include up to 16 Mk 41 vertical launch system missile cells.

The vessel's first purpose, though, is to demonstrate truly unmanned, long-distance operation. Without the need to support and protect sailors, the ship is skinnier, lighter, cheaper and more expendable. The concept is to jump past the "optionally manned" configurations that the Navy has pursued and move straight to zero-crew construction. Mechanical reliability is among the biggest hurdles for high endurance unmanned systems, and DARPA wants Defiant to demonstrate up to 12 months of operation without human intervention.

“Defiant is a tough little ship and defies the idea that we cannot make a ship that can operate in the challenging environment of the open ocean without people to operate her,” said NOMARS Program Manager Greg Avicola, during the ceremony. “While relatively small, Defiant is designed for extended voyages in the open ocean, can handle operations in sea state 5 with no degradation and survive much higher seas, continuing operations once the storm passes. She’s no wider than she must be to fit the largest piece of hardware and we have no human passageways to worry about."

The Navy's unmanned R&D office, PMS 406, will be taking possession of the Defiant after initial at-sea demonstrations. It will be the service's first and only fully unmanned oceangoing vessel.
