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.

    The minerals are for all the money and weapon US had already gave Ukraine. The security guarantees costs extra.

      New USA colonialism:

      “Let us help you fight for your freedom!”

      3 years later…

      “Ekhmm… remember the aid we sent? It wasn’t to help you fight freedom after all. It was so now we can feel entitled to your resources.”

      Check mate.

      So go fuck out of all of security bases in Europe. Let’s see how much longer you will survive and thrive without allies and generally hated by everyone.

      You think the rest of the world should simply succumb to your scummy practices?
