British aid is being used to open up Ukraine’s wrecked economy to foreign investors and enhance trade with the UK.

      But this is what the war IS about. Which empire gets those precious minerals. Whoever wins will be entitled to the spoils that ukraine will owe them for winning the war. No matter which side wins.

    Was Ukraine considered very socialist before Russia invaded?

      Ukraine switched from russian exploitation to liberal exploitation after the “orange revolution”. So this process of redirecting extracted resources from one empire to another is a continuation of that process from before the invasion.

      No, but a lot of assets were still publicly owned. Now they will be privatized and sold off.

    A huge part of the war is this. Ukraine has assets that Western capitalists crave.
