According to the report, the Ukrainian president has rejected US demands for $500 billion in mineral wealth from Ukraine to repay Washington for wartime aid. Volodymyr Zelensky said that US had supplied nowhere near that sum so far and offered no specific security guarantees in the agreement.
The report said that the Ukrainian leader said the draft deal proposed the US taking ownership of 50% of Ukraine's critical minerals. “I am defending Ukraine. I cannot sell our country. That is all. I said okay, let's have something positive.. you will write down some guarantees, and we will write a memorandum with some percentages (of minerals). I was told only 50%. I said 'okay, no”, Zelensky said.
The report added that Trump has said he wants $500 billion in rare earth minerals from Kyiv to secure Washington's assistance. Trump’s team last week proposed a deal that Kyiv declined to sign in its current form.
According to Zelensky, American demands for $500 billion in minerals are "not a serious conversation
Ukraine could have been a very rich country if not only involved in war and no Russia and other countries to get interested into it. Russia should give Ukraine freedom and liberty.
