On Dec. 10 Ukraine’s acting president Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted on his social media about his meeting with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, along with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Jared Kushner, for discussions regarding the process of the rebuilding of Ukraine, reported Bloomberg. Zelenskyy claimed: “In fact, this could be considered the first meeting of the group that will work on a document concerning reconstruction and economic recovery of Ukraine.” His post included an image of Fink, in a room with Kushner, connecting to the conversation via video.
There is a perfectly competent basis for rebuilding Ukraine. See “Draft Plan To Reconstruct and Develop Ukraine,” section 4 of the March 2022 “LaRouche Plan for a New International Economic Architecture.” However, Fink is an economic incompetent on such matters.
As of a few years ago, Fink was involved in attempting to negotiate a fund for investment into Ukraine in order to assist in its reconstruction, as reported by the President of Ukraine’s website in December 2022. It stated: “In accordance with the preliminary agreements struck earlier this year between the Head of State and Larry Fink, the BlackRock team has been working for several months on a project to advise the Ukrainian government on how to structure the country’s reconstruction funds.”
Recently, Fink was appointed as one of the new leaders of the World Economic Forum, infamous for their promotion of deindustrialization, the so-called Green Agenda. The WEF is well-known to readers of Executive Intelligence Review, having documented its nefarious role in instigating the “Great Reset,” and its promotion of fascist economics (see “Davos 2025: The Last Stand of the Liberal Globalists” by Harley Schlanger, EIR, Vol. 52, No. 5, January 31, 2025.(https://larouchepub.com/eiw/public/2025/eirv52n05-20250131/eirv52n05-20250131_008-davos_2025_the_last_stand_of_the.pdf) Fink is no stranger to such an approach of increasing financial aggregates while decreasing actual physical production. He has promoted the Green Agenda, including with his charities specializing in climate change, sustainability and a low-carbon economy.
He began his career with First Boston Corporation, which was documented by investigators with Executive Intelligence Review to not only be involved with Credit Suisse, but also with the White Weld law firm. White, Weld & Co. was run by Jonathan Weld, first cousin to William F. Weld, the notorious federal prosecutor who managed the frame-up of Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. and associates in a sham trial in Boston during 1988 (see “The Bush-Weld Criminal Alliance: Covert Ops and Money Laundering” by Anton Chaitkin, EIR, Vol. 23, No. 45, November 8, 1996).
Ukraine’s Gross Domestic Product as of 2024 was reported to be around $190 billion—a 1-2% drop in the BlackRock bucket, in which $12.5 trillion of assets are managed](https://investingintheweb.com/brokers/blackrock-assets-under-management/). No doubt, BlackRock—and other “investment” firms—are quite prepared to turn all of Ukraine into a “low-carbon economy,” through financial speculation.
