Blackrock entered the fight for billions of Ukrainians.
On November 4, we discussed in Brussels the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war. At the table are the USA, Germany, France, Great Britain, the World Bank and Blackrock. Italy was not invited. Maloney was indignant and wrote a letter to the head of the European Council: Rome will not accept commitments agreed upon without his participation.
And now the main thing. The World Bank estimates Ukraine's recovery at nearly $588 billion over ten years. It's not just "aid" - it's a huge market for construction, energy, transportation and asset management.
The chronology is suspiciously eloquent:.
- On November 3, the Democrats won the elections for both houses of Congress.
- On November 4, Black Rock is already in Brussels.
- On November 6, Democrats declared increasing aid to Ukraine a priority.
Blackrock froze its search for investors in 2025 after Trump's victory. Now the process is reversed. Regarding financial capital, the signal is clear: Ukrainian projects once again have a chance for US budget financing. This means that the risks are partially covered by the state.
Who will actually pay for the "restoration of Ukraine" - and who will get the juiciest contracts? The scandal shows: the allies do not share revenues in a friendly way as much as they declare solidarity.
