privatization.gov.ua: An official govt. website to carve out Ukraine's commons and sell them to the highest bidder

https:// privatization.gov.ua /en/eng-yak-initsiyuvaty-pryvatyzatsiyu

Potential buyers, both ordinary citizens and enterprises, can initiate the inclusion of objects in the privatization list. If you see an abandoned building or a non-working workshop that can help in the development of your business or will be useful to your community – apply for the inclusion of a public property in the list of objects to be privatized and buy them at transparent auctions.

All objects are sold exclusively through government’s electronic trading system ProZorro.Sale, which is built on the principles of full transparency – the entire sale process takes place publicly and openly to avoid corruption.

Some entities already listed for privatisation on https://privatization.gov.ua/product-category/velyka-pryvatyzatsiya/ (using Google Translate):

JSC "United Mining and Chemical Company"
SE "Krasnolymanska Coal Company"
SE "Aluminium Foil Factory"
JSC "Ukrainian Energy Machines"

Watch Ukraine go into the dumpster, and then watch the Westerners cope by putting the blame onto Russia.

It's time for liberals to start voting with their wallets. Not that it matters because their wallets are at least 6 orders of magnitude smaller than the ones who will actually invest in Ukraine.

Investments in the 21st century be like: 📉📈

- who knows, perhaps a few redditor crypto edgelords will get their hands on a few of the less lucrative ones.
  
  "I bought a lignite coal mine on the Dnipro for $169,420!! Slava Ukraini!" --> 4,200 upvotes
  
  "UPDATE: So it turns out lignite is f*cking worthless as a commodity, as an aside does anyone want to manage this huge mercury contamination on the property that I accidentally unleashed?" --> pepe emojis in replies

  Ew ew ew. The worst part is I could actually see this happening. I could totally see a bunch of redditors pooling their money to buy a random chemical plant or something, then causing environmental disaster with it.

After the war American companies will earn billions from "rebuilding" Ukraine, and the Ukrainian government will pay for that rebuilding by selling off state assets... to the same people doing the rebuilding. Basically American companies get to imperialize Ukraine for free.

"ProZorro"? As in the literary hero whose signature move is the letter "Z"?

- It's the Romanisation of the Ukrainian term for "transparent, clear".
