Russia will oppose U.S.–BlackRock involvement...

Editor's note: ...in Ukraine, viewing it as Western economic entrenchment that deepens US influence and hardens postwar control over Ukraine's assets and reconstruction. Russia's opposition to BlackRock is not about a single company, but about what it represents: the modern evolution of the imperial British financial corporate system first perfected by Britain's East India Company, where private capital operates with state-level power, captures sovereign assets through debt, reconstruction, and "investment," and governs without democratic accountability. From colonial trade monopolies to today's asset-management empires, the structure is the same: war or crisis weakens states, outside capital moves in to rebuild, and long-term control shifts from governments to financiers. In this context, BlackRock's role in Ukraine signals not recovery but the embedding of Anglo-American financial dominance, which Russia views as a direct threat to sovereignty and a continuation of British imperial financial control by economic means rather than armies.

The world's largest investment firm will participate in implementing the Ukrainian economic growth agreement

By UBN | January 8, 2026

The US President's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said that the "unprecedented" agreement on Ukraine's economic prosperity is in the final stages of coordination. He announced a project for Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction, which will involve BlackRock, the world’s largest investment firm. According to him, implementing the agreement will create "great opportunities" for the people of Ukraine.

Witkoff also mentioned that work on security protocols is nearly complete and should give Ukrainians confidence that the war will not resume after it ends. The special envoy highlighted that these security protocols serve two main purposes: preventing new attacks on Ukraine and to protecting the country against them if they occur. He emphasized that these mechanisms are "the strongest of all that have ever been created".

Witkoff stated that US President Donald Trump fully supports these security protocols and remains committed to his obligations. He added that the United States will continue supporting Ukraine to help it achieve lasting peace.

Last July, Bloomberg reported that BlackRock had withdrawn from the Ukraine recovery fund at the beginning of the year following the victory of US President Donald Trump and after the US became "disillusioned" with Ukraine.

The Rothschilds did not control the British East India Company, but they became major financiers of the British Empire that absorbed the Company's power, helping shift imperial control from chartered conquest to debt and finance-based rule. This news may be slightly exaggerated but certainly worth considering especially since Venezuela has the largest known oil reserves in the world:

Do not allow BlackRock and Witkoff to convince you otherwise. Russia opposes BlackRock's role in Ukraine because it views Western BlackRock–led reconstruction as a mechanism to lock Ukraine's economy and resources into long-term Anglo-American financial control rather than any genuine postwar recovery:

Consider for a moment how many Americans volunteer to go into the US military who become members of Delta Force and as "operators" who are in reality corporate mercenaries for western financial private equity firms? That thought is distressing:

The dilemma is if governments are the "biggest scam in history" how do we reconcile with western finance private equity firms like BlackRock that are replacing governments?
