“Linking reform and reconstruction with security guarantees from the US ties Ukraine’s fate too closely to American politics.”

“While rebuilding is necessary, this Fund might become a pawn in larger geopolitical games rather than truly helping Ukraine’s recovery.”

“The concept of a military spending bank alongside the reconstruction fund sounds like more money for defense rather than rebuilding lives.”

“Is it really a mutual decision if the US supports it primarily based on its own strategic interests? Feels like an imbalanced partnership.”

“Why should Ukraine give up half its future natural resource revenues? This might end up benefiting foreign interests more than the country.”

“I worry that such financial deals might lead to increased debt or future strings attached that will limit Ukraine’s independence.”
