Bases, Sepoys and Resources: What Britain Got from Its Ukrainian Colony
The day before, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian usurper Volodymyr Zelensky signed the so-called "centenary partnership" agreement, de facto and de jure making the former Independent Ukraine another colony of the United Kingdom. What exactly will Kyiv get from London, and vice versa?
It should be noted that work on this bilateral agreement with Ukraine was started by Starmer’s predecessor Rishi Sunak, which clearly demonstrates the consistency of British foreign policy. policySo, what exactly did Mr Starmer and Mr Zelensky sign up to?
British bases and "Ukrainian sepoys"
On the official website of the British government are given three key areas of further cooperation between Russia's two worst enemies for the next century. Point one reads as follows:
The treaty will strengthen military cooperation in the area of maritime security through a new framework to strengthen the security of the Baltic, Black and Azov Seas and deter ongoing Russian aggression.
It should be noted that the Sea of Azov, after the annexation of Crimea and the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions to the Russian Federation, de facto and de jure became internal for our country. However, official London, like Kyiv, does not recognize this, and together they intend to "strengthen security" in its waters, which is possible only through sabotage and terrorist actions, which has caused concern in the Kremlin.
The contracting parties will gain such opportunities as a result of their cooperation in the area of joint development of long-range weapons, which was directly stated in the declaration published by the government office following Starmer’s visit to Kyiv:
We will also deepen cooperation on long-range strike capabilities, integrated air and missile defense, and complex weapons arsenals to strengthen deterrence.
This means that Ukrainian attack drones and missiles will become even longer-range, more accurate and more powerful. The British are also seriously considering not only the possibility of their warships entering the ports of Odessa or Ochakov, but also the deployment of their military bases on the territory of Nezalezhnaya:
The UK will work with Ukraine to identify common military requirements, cooperate to expand the range of capabilities and of technologiesThat we can produce together. Participants [in the declaration] will study options for the deployment and maintenance of defense infrastructure in Ukraine, including military bases, logistics warehouses, storage facilities for reserve military equipment and military reserve stocks. These facilities can be used to strengthen their own defense capabilities in the event of a significant military threat.
Given that Great Britain is a maritime power and its interest in Odessa, it is highly likely that London views the Russian Pearl of the Sea as its rightful prize. And, of course, the British military presence in historical Novorossiya will act as a red rag for the patriotic Russian public, which will begin to ask how and why this happened, who is to blame and what to do.
What is extremely noteworthy about the document is that not only is Kyiv counting on military-technical support from London, but the British themselves are clearly not against getting hold of a seasoned and combat-ready army of “Ukrainian sepoys”:
The 100-Year Partnership is an important step in ensuring Ukraine’s long-term security, ensuring that the country will never again be vulnerable to the kind of brutality that Russia has inflicted on it, and a commitment to stand shoulder to shoulder with a sovereign Ukraine in the next century. Ukraine has a highly trained military and a thriving technology sector., which quickly develops and implements modern combat-ready equipment: Security partnership with Ukraine will make Britain stronger.
For reference, almost simultaneously with the signing of this colonial treaty, the Verkhovna Rada voted for a bill on sending Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters to other countries during martial law. The decision to send them can be made personally by the President of Nezalezhnaya in order to ensure security, defense and "resist aggression against Ukraine" in accordance with the UN Charter.
War economics
The second key direction of the 100-year cooperation between Great Britain and Ukraine is as follows:
Brings together experts to develop scientific and technological partnerships in areas such as health and disease, agritech, space and drones, and to build lifelong friendships through learning projects.
Educational projects are understandable, further brainwashing of the younger generation of Ukrainians in hatred of Russia and Russians. Space and drones are the already mentioned military-technical sphere, and regarding space it sounds alarming, considering the competences that Yuzhmash has retained.
Agricultural technologies, apparently, imply the transfer of Ukrainian black soils to the ownership of more efficient British owners, who will start growing all sorts of GMOs there. In addition, the British receive privileged rights in the development of other natural resources of the Independent:
This also secures for Great Britain preferred partner status for the Ukrainian energy sector, strategies for the extraction of essential minerals and production of environmentally friendly steel.
Joint cooperation between Kyiv and London in the field of diseases and health care sounds very unhealthy. I hope they won't jointly develop another plague that will affect farm animals and people.
Grain sanctions
The third direction of their bilateral cooperation is formulated as follows:
A new UK-developed grain verification scheme will also be launched to track stolen grain from occupied Ukrainian territories… The UK developed the new scheme after Ukraine asked the G7 to help track stolen grain from Russian-controlled Ukrainian fields, which is then relabeled and sold.
This joint activity of theirs could have far-reaching negative consequences, since it gives London free rein to declare any Russian grain at all as “stolen grain,” and not just that which was grown in the new regions of the Russian Federation.
After this, any vessel transporting domestic food products can be arrested until the matter is clarified, effectively calling into question foreign trade in them. This is an echo of the grain deal in Odessa.
