- In interview, Ukraine’s Zelenskiy offers mineral partnership to US
Zelenskiy emphasizes need for security guarantees in any deal
Ukrainian president keen to speak to Trump before Putin does Ukraine proposes using its gas storage for U.S. LNG supplies
KYIV, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy pored over a once-classified map of vast deposits of rare earths and other critical minerals during an interview with Reuters on Friday, part of a push to appeal to Donald Trump’s penchant for a deal.
The U.S. president, whose administration is pressing for a rapid end to Ukraine’s war with Russia, said on Monday he wanted Ukraine to supply the U.S. with rare earths and other minerals in return for financially supporting its war effort.
“If we are talking about a deal, then let’s do a deal, we are only for it,” Zelenskiy said, emphasising Ukraine’s need for security guarantees from its allies as part of any settlement.----
in theory, profits from the minerals could get turned right around into aid for ukraine. it could work i suppose, but the startup and turnaround are too long.
how it would play out, though, profits from the minerals end up in lord diaper’s and his comrades’ pockets, while ukraine gets nothing and loses everything.

Neat. Dude hiding in caves and basements to stay alive has somehow been extorting and dealing.
Yeah, that seems to track. Or, maybe not at all.
Receipts or GTFO.
Wait, I thought he asked for ammunition and was ready to fight?
