Consulting firms linked to the White House's leading Ukraine policy architects - including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland - appear to be advising the Ukrainian government on its reconstruction efforts funded by U.S. taxpayers.
Despite the robust conflict of interest, Albright Stonebridge appears to be involved in advising on the issue of Ukraine reconstruction.
The firm publish a white paper -"Land Value Capture Can Finance Ukraine's Reconstruction, Reduce Corruption, And Boost Productivity" - outlining a variety of economic strategies for rebuilding Ukraine with foreign aid packages, predominantly underwritten by U.S. taxpayers.
Posing a clear conflict of interest, the co-founder of the firm is Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Flournoy is part of the Working Group on International Security Guarantees for Ukraine, which recently published the Kyiv Security Compact calling for additional foreign aid for the country.
The effort is directly linked to the Ukrainian government, as it's co-chaired by Head of the Ukrainian President's Office Andriy Yermark and former Danish Prime Minister and NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
The paper calls for adopting the "Kyiv Security Compact," described as a joint strategic partnership between Ukraine and Western nations including the U.S., holding them financially responsible for rebuilding the country.
