“US companies have taken advantage of the new legislation to invest massively in the country.”
Over the past few years, Chinese buyers have bought farmland in countries ranging from the U.S. and France to Vietnam. In 2013 Hong Kong-based food giant WH Group bought Smithfield, America’s largest pork producer, and more than 146,000 acres of Missouri farmland. In the same year, Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps bought 9% of Ukraine’s famously fertile farmland, equal to 5% of the country’s total territory, with a 50-year lease. (In 2020, the U.S. imposed sanctions on the Chinese company over human-rights abuses.) Between 2011 and 2020, China bought nearly seven million hectares of farmland around the world. Firms from the U.K. bought nearly two million hectares, while U.S. and Japanese firms bought less than a million hectares.

That's certainly a lot of words to say Russia has no claims over Ukraine and needs to stop their illegal war.

Soo... What's your point?
That your Putin is stealing the Chinese and American lands instead of Ukrainian ones?
Alrighty then.
What exactly did Putin steal from you? Specifically for you.
You should tell that to Putin after stealing land from the Ukraine....
But your governments, accustomed over many decades and centuries to only stealing, are now stealing Russian gold and foreign exchange reserves. But Russians always come for their money, mind you.
The big question facing delegates at the Ukraine recovery conference, hosted by the UK and Ukrainian governments this week, is who will pay the estimated $400bn (£310bn) bill for Ukraine’s postwar reconstruction.
The obvious answer is: Russia and its oligarchs. About $400bn of frozen Russian assets currently sit on western shores, the result of sanctions measures levied since the beginning of the war. This tempting pot includes immobilised assets of Russia’s central bank, and frozen assets owned by oligarchs and other Kremlin associates. Many have suggested this money could be transferred to Ukraine, where it conveniently matches the cost of needed reconstruction funds.
Chinese lands are in China, and American lands are in the USA. And in Ukraine there are Russian lands that the Americans are stealing from the Russians through fraud.

The Ukrainians don't want you there.
Go home and leave them alone in their own lands.
And to make their own decisions.
Problem solved.

Yeah lets follow his logic.
Chinese land belongs to China.
American land belongs to America.
And Ukrainian belongs to Russia.
You expect better from a primary school wean Kurokage.
Chinese lands are in China, and American lands are in the USA.
And in Ukraine there are Russian lands......
.... that the Americans are stealing from the Russians through fraud.
