Ukraine Makes Plea to Sell More Public Infrastructure to Foreigners

It was the most moral war ever.

It was so moral because there is nothing more evil ever in the universe (more evil than Thanos and Darth Vader combined) than the 1991 borders of a former Soviet state changing.

Make a list of the most evil possible things ever in the entire universe, and every time, “that the borders of the former USSR would change at all” is always going to be the number one most evil thing.

No amount of death is too much to stop this evil. You can just shove hundreds of thousands of men into the Bakhmut meat-grinder, and it means literally nothing, because we have to stop any change ever to former USSR borders.

Unfortunately, by very terrible and unexpected coincidence (no one could have predicted it), along with the hundreds of thousands of deaths, we are also going to have to sell all of the public infrastructure of the Ukraine to American Jews.

But again: a small price to pay to ensure that post-Soviet borders remain static until the sun burns out.

Ukraine is looking for “brave” investors as it seeks to sell big state-run companies at distressed prices to raise funds for its aid-dependent budget, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing the head of the State Property Fund (SPF), Rustem Umerov.

Currently, more than 3,500 companies are listed as state-owned with almost 1,800 of them bankrupt and non-functional. The list for privatization includes distilleries and grain elevators, which could be of interest to investors, as well as hundreds of abandoned facilities, which will likely see limited demand.

“There are emerging markets, and there is an emergency market, and as an emergency market, we are one of a kind,” Umerov said last week and called for investors “brave” enough to take the risk of putting their money into the war-torn country.

Touting possible future yields, he said that “this should be a 20x story for you in the future.”

Kiev is hoping to earn over $400 million by selling companies ranging from a fertilizer producer to utilities, smelters and an insulin maker, the outlet said.

If the Ukrainian parliament approves the sale of large state companies in May, enterprises including ammonia maker Odessky Pryportovy Zavod, titanium producer United Mining and Zaporozhye Titanium-Magnesium Plant, insulin manufacturer Indar, and power generator Centrenergo PJSC will go under the hammer in the third quarter of the year, according to Umerov.

He added that another $190 million could come from leasing farmland, if lawmakers allow the fund to consolidate state-owned land.

One of the reasons behind the fire sale is that most Soviet-era enterprises listed on the fund’s balance sheet are quickly losing value.

“If we don’t sell them this year, then next year their only value will be real estate, and in the following year, just the land they stand on,” Umerov said.

Confiscated property of Russian businessmen could be another source for shoring up the Ukrainian budget.

Of course, the relevance of the borders themselves, after the Ukraine is integrated into a transnational financial conglomerate, are maybe slightly questionable.

But it’s really the lines on the map that matter.

That’s where the true morality is. That’s what we are willing to sacrifice anything for, including the entire population of the Ukraine.
