Ukraine Building $1.4 Billion Holiday Ski Resort Amid Russian War

Are those U.S. tax payers great or what? As Ukraine continues to defend its eastern front from the Russian invasion, the country is simultaneously working on an ambitious new project—a massive holiday resort on its western border. If anyone thought last week’s bizarre Oval Office meeting with the comedian took you off the chart. Try this one on.

The GORO Mountain ski resort, a £1.2 billion development, is under construction in the Lviv region, near the border with Poland. This sprawling project will feature 25 hotels with 5,500 rooms, covering 2,965 acres. It will include 41 ski slopes spanning 46.6 miles, 846 acres of snow-covered terrain, over 10 miles of ski lifts, two modern gondola lifts, and 11 chairlifts.

Construction began in October 2024, with the first phase slated for completion between 2028 and 2029. The entire project is expected to take 15 years to complete. ( looks like Zelensky expects we will have our boys over there for at least the next 15 years.)

Funding for the resort comes from a mix of sources, Ukrainian company OKKO is expected to invest £400 million in the venture. (Go ahead laugh. Bet $1 Billion plus comes from USAID – How much did Hunter get, and the 10 for the big guy?)

In addition to the hotels, the development will include various recreational facilities such as spas, swimming pools, restaurants, and dedicated spaces for children and business events.

The GORO Mountain Resort project was first proposed in 2017 and was initially scheduled to start in spring 2022. However, construction was delayed due to the Russian invasion.

OKKO Group, Ukraine’s largest network of gas stations, is leading the project alongside globally recognized experts. Partners include ILF Group, renowned for their contributions to ski resort developments like the Remarkables in New Zealand and Austria’s largest resorts, such as Sölden and Kitzbühel.

Despite ongoing challenges, Ukraine’s west is focusing on long-term growth and development, symbolizing resilience and a vision for the future. Source

Back in the U.S, we learn that Ukraine’s top joker has been a busy man. And our congressmen including our gal Susan Rice have been filling his head with sugar plums that will be given. Telling him not to sign.

So the whole meeting was a setup with Zelensky never planning on signing anything. The media triumphantly determining for anyone dumb enough to believe them, that the whole thing was Trump’s disaster. As Miranda Devine states in the New York Post:

Now Trump’s creative “Art of the Deal” effort to end the war lies in tatters, just as his enemies here and abroad wanted. They could not tolerate that Trump, who thumbed his nose at all their sacred cows, would be successful in ending the war. If Trump succeeded, then it would expose warmongers on both sides of Congress and in Europe as incompetent or far worse.

So Trump’s enemies are now using the million dead souls of the Ukraine war to spawn a new Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, their fourth by my count. (Source)
