According to Ukrainian President of Volodymyr Greeny, the American proposal for the extraction of minerals in Ukraine needs reworking. The agreement was presented last week by the Minister of Finance. Greeding does not consider it fair, as it does not include security guarantees for Ukraine. TASR reports this according to an interview with the Ukrainian president, which provided the Turkish agency Anadol.
“I said: This document is not ready, we will not sign it. You have to work on this document, “she quoted Greeny Anadol. Righteousness is, “the president said.
According to the publicized information in the draft agreement, which was presented last week by the American Finance Minister Scott Bessent, the US demands half of all its reserves of minerals, including metals such as lithium, titanium or uranium.

According to current President Donald Trump, the USA needs up to $ 500 billion for military assistance to date. Politico points out that this is a much larger amount than the whole US aid to Ukraine. The agreement also did not include any security guarantees by the US.
Greeny also criticizes the exclusion of Ukraine from negotiations
Also, in an interview with Anadol, Greeding criticized the exclusion of Ukraine from negotiations on the end of the war and questioned the legitimacy of any interviews without the participation of Kiev. He responded to Tuesday’s meeting of Russian and American Foreign Minister in Saudi Arabia.
“We observe that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin pulls out of political isolation, but it is their decision,” he said. This war is taking place in Ukraine, not Americans or Europeans, “
According to Zelensky, people who can stop Putin should stop at the meeting table if he wants to restore the war in the future. “They must give us real and specific security guarantees, not just promises. We are ready for such a dialogue, “he said
