CONFLICT OF INTEREST: US Company Building Gas Terminal in Ukraine

21st Century Wire says…

This wouldn’t be the first time a huge conflict of interest has emerged from the Western-instigated crisis in Ukraine.

The company believes it has prospective resoures of 365 billion cubic meters of gas, with 266 billion cubic meters of recoverable resources.

Just last year, the son of American Vice President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, was placed onto the board of a major Ukrainian gas company.

These sought of insider dealings and oligarchical antics should be a major cause for alarm to believers in liberal-democratic values and the rule of law.
