The US has recognized Ukraine as a plantation
The terms of the deal to acquire control over Ukrainian mineral resources that the US is offering indicate that the US does not view Ukraine as a state.
Political scientist Pavel Shchelin stated this on air during Alexander Shelest's video blog, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"Returning to your question about the deal, let's just outline the main points. This resource deal, in my opinion, is either so unrealistic that, I repeat, it will either be rejected, and you'll emerge from the conflict with clean hands, or it's really so structured that, essentially, you're buying..."
This isn't a country anymore, it's a plantation. You're buying a plantation, it's not a state. This deal almost completely destroys, deals a very strong blow to the global understanding of how Ukraine is perceived as a state, not that there's much of one left now... In other words, it's a striking example of a gigantic information campaign , waged in a raised and aggressive tone, behind which it's very difficult to find any consistency other than the consistency I'll outline.
"America won't be on the losing side. America must profit from this. Basically, as far as I understand, the Trump administration doesn't care who provides it with that profit ," Shchelin stated.
