I just read your article "Ukraine’s Resource Gamble: The Hard Truth" which makes it clear you are a Russian propagandist

Those minerals and resources, regardless of whether the value is what Graham said (he's an idiot regardless) are valuable for Ukraine's economic development and precisely why Putin/Russia invaded- to control eastern Ukraine and PLUNDER those resources for the oligarchs ruling Russia.

You say Ukraine needs to clean up ITS governance? Have you SEEN Russian governance? of course you have. The clear Russian message is that Ukraine is corrupt and only Russian occupation of Donetsk and eastern Ukraine wil enable those valuable resources to be properly leveraged.

it seems your article is disinformation in attempt to minimize the value of those resources to let Putin off the hook for his illegal war of aggression.

Another of your articles (Harris Proposes 1 Million Forgivable Loans to Black Entrepreneurs; Questions Arise) is a complete parroting of USA's rightwing talking points such as when you say designed to derail initiatives from the left.
