❗️I will not go for 10 cents of debt repayment in this agreement with the US, - Zelensky. ▪️It is important for me to hear from the US about aid to Ukraine, that it will be "not later, but now" and will not be stopped. ▪️I will preserve the quantitative composition of the army as much as possible, because this is the best guarantee of security.

Trump hat maximalen Druck und Drohungen genutzt, um Ukrainer zu einem Abkommen über Ausbeutung von Rohstoffen, besonders Seltene Erden, zu bringen. Sicherheitsgarantien bekommt die Ukraine nicht. Selenskjy hatte zunächst abgelehnt ein Abkommen zu unterzeichnen. (1)


So, essentially, the "rare earths agreement" is just a memorandum on how the U.S. and Ukraine are intended to invest in Ukraine's mining industry and mineral resources and jointly get profits at some point. There's 0% certainty on whether this will ever be a real big thing. The document doesn't even require parliamentary ratification at this moment. Now, Donald Trump will declare a grandiose victory as soon as Zelensky signs this in front of cameras in D.C., and essentially, that's it.
