Ukrainian officials were told not to sign an agreement with the U.S. on rare earth minerals because the document focused on U.S. interests

Summary

Ukrainian officials were advised not to sign a U.S. proposal on accessing rare earth minerals, as it prioritized U.S. interests and lacked security guarantees for Ukraine, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The document, presented by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bassent during a Kyiv visit, was intended as compensation for U.S. aid.

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskyy stressed any agreement must ensure both financial benefits and security for Ukraine amid ongoing Russian aggression, and Ukraine is preparing a counter proposal.

    I’m guessing you are young sice you make these wild statements. You have little understanding, restraint or tactical knowledge and are guided by anger that makes you even more prone to fatal and catastrophical mistakes. It is not Russia that moved the line but NATO. All the way from Germany to literally their border. Without even getting into thr geopolitical let me explain this AGAIN from a practical and military standpoint: Having nukes in a country like ukraine would already be a lossed cause for Russia. THey are literally too close to defend from. So even any attempt at putting them there is a life threathening situation and a guaranteed immediate WW3 no questions asked response. Nobody with a minimum of knowledge would be insane enough to call their bluff, not even Trump. you should learn that. The ones in Romania are just as far as is allowed. If you would’ve been in charge of either side for the last 10 years, we would all be dead.
