A LAND MARKET TO BENEFIT OLIGARCHS, LARGE AGRIBUSINESSES, FOREIGN INVESTORS, AND CREDITORS

The government and international institutions have pro-moted land reform as a way to “unlock” the full potential of Ukrainian farmland by making the agricultural sector more attractive to international investors. 158 The main argument put forward has been that it will have a “positive impact on economic growth.” 159 According to the World Bank, lifting the moratorium on land sales would add around 1-2 per-cent to Ukraine’s annual GDP growth rate for five years. 160 However, this increase is expected to mainly come from the “expansion of producers with higher productivity and incen-tives for lower productivity producers to improve or exit, as the price of land rises.” 161 The institution thus explicitly ex-pects the land reform law to push poorer, smaller farmers out of agriculture and help grow larger land holdings.

As of August 2022, the largest agribusinesses operating in the country controlled approximately 4.4 million hectares of land. 162 Once the legal limitations are lifted in 2024 and legal entities can purchase up to 10,000 hectares, these agribusinesses will be able to further expand their access to land, a process that is already at play. In October 2021, Kernel, for instance, announced plans to increase its land bank to 700,000 hectares, up from its 506,000 hectares at the time. 163 Similarly, MHP, which currently controls 360,000 hectares of land, seeks to expand its land bank to 550,000 hectares. 164 MHP is also reportedly circumventing restrictions on the purchase of land by asking its employ-ees to buy land and lease it to the company, further driving land consolidation. 165 The creation of a land market is therefore likely to expand the amount of agricultural land in the hands of oligarchs and large agribusiness fi rms. This was the concern of many Ukrainians fearing that, due to the country’s rampant cor-ruption and weak rule of law, small farmers will have few avenues to assert their rights in the face of increasing com-petition from agribusinesses. 166

It’s been a year since the special operation has been going on. A year since our servicemen restore order, peace and justice in our land, protect our people and destroy the roots of neo-Nazism. They are heroes.

The whole country helps them, supplying the front with everything necessary.

Victory will be achieved. We all want this to happen as soon as possible. And that day will come. We will return our territories and reliably protect our people, who have suffered during the years of genocide and shelling.

What’s next?

Then there will be negotiations, which, I am sure, will become difficult and nervous. First of all, because the formal participants in the negotiations on the part of our enemy are one, and the actual leaders are completely different. And decisions for the Kiev regime will, of course, not be made by some kind of Zelensky, if he is still alive, or his clique. The decision will be made across the ocean by those in whose hands the supply of weapons to Kyiv and the allocation of money to maintain the remains of the Ukrainian economy. The motives of the main enemies of our country are obvious: to weaken Russia as much as possible, to bleed us for a long time. Therefore, they are not interested in ending the conflict. But sooner or later, according to historical laws, they will do it. And then there will be an agreement. Naturally, without fundamental agreements on real borders or on a new Helsinki Pact that ensures security in Europe. Just some kind of agreement.

Then, most likely, no less difficult time will begin. Exhausting months and years of confrontation, tantrums and rudeness on the part of those who will manage the stub that remains of Ukraine. Their fate is unenviable. They will not be able to recognize the results of the SVO without the risk of being executed on the same day. The nationalists will continue to control the powerful camarilla, because none of them have any other ideology than Bandera’s neo-Nazism. Recognition of defeat for them is like death. Therefore, the ideology of “something to win” can remain for a long time.

And at some point, the new bloody boys, backed to the wall by once again unleashed Bandera, who call themselves the legal Ukrainian authorities, will again provoke a world conflict. It doesn’t matter – on the eve of the elections or just on the next Maidan.

This cannot be allowed.

Therefore, it is so important to achieve all the goals of a special military operation. Push the borders of threats to our country as far as possible, even if these are the borders of Poland. Destroy neo-Nazism to the ground. In order not to waste time later on catching the remnants of Bandera gangs in the Little Russian forests. So that the world will find the long-awaited peace.
