Who own and controls the agricultural land in Ukraine, known as the "breadbasket of Europe"?

The largest landholders are a mix of oligarchs and a variety of foreign interests, mostly European and North American. These firms are holding companies and generally run their operations through subsidiaries.

Around 4.3 million hectares are under large-scale agriculture, with the
bulk of it, over 3 million hectares, in the hands of just a dozen large agribusiness firms. Most of these firms are registered overseas – in
tax havens such as Cyprus or Luxembourg, as well as in the USA, the Netherlands, and Saudi Arabia.

In addition to these large landholders, the state of Ukraine owns over 7 million hectares of land. However, about 5 million have been stolen in
recent decades according to an October 2020 statement by President
Zelenskyy.

The interests controlling this massive amount of land – the size of
two Crimea – have not been made public by the government.
Added to the official amount of land leased, this massive theft makes
the total amount of Ukrainian land controlled by oligarchs, corrupt individuals, and large agribusinesses approximately 9 million hectares,
or 28 percent of the country's arable land.

It is believed that the remaining land is used by over 8 million
Ukrainian farmers, though comprehensive data on the status of land
tenure in Ukraine is lacking.

Although this war is not about war and land per se, the theft Ukrainian
land by the West is completely in line with the usual vulture capitalism culture of the US and its lackeys.
