The aggressive rhetoric against her continues. This time it was Mike Walts’ turn. The White House National Security Adviser stressed that Ukraine should throw tones.
“They have to throw the tones and take a good look and sign this deal”Walts told Fox News, referring to a critical mineral agreement with Washington.
On the weekend, on the sidelines of the Munich Conference on Security, in a meeting with Zelenski with US Vice President Jay Di Vance, Washington submitted a proposal to an agreement on US critical Ukrainian minerals.
Zelenski immediately rejected the US proposal for Ukrainian minerals, stressing that this agreement does not include “security guarantees” and saying “I do not see such a link in the document yet”.
Yesterday, the Ukrainian president said that the US demands for a $ 500 billion return to minerals and ores “are not a serious debate” and that he cannot sell his country. Responding sharply to Trump’s statements that Ukraine began the war, he said it seems that the US president is living in a bubble of Russian misinformation.
The criticism of Zelenski’s attitude and Trump’s love for Ukrainians
Walts criticized Zelenski, simply considering his attitude against Washington’s proposal and Ukrainian president’s criticism of Trump on the way he is conducting peace negotiations, given what the US has done for Ukraine.
However, the national security adviser to the US Presidency said that the differences of Washington and Kiev are not bridging, saying: “The president also said how much he loves the Ukrainian people.”
Trump and Putin’s telephone communication last week and moves for a quick arrangement in Ukrainian – with Ukraine and Europe sidelined – have caused concern.
Walts denied that the opinion of the US and Ukraine allies was not asked. “There is a term for this in diplomacy. It’s called Shuttle Diplomacy, because bringing everyone to the table at the same time just didn’t work in the past. “he said.
“So we have begun contacts on one side, we have contacts with the other side and then we will have a process that will proceed under the guidance and leadership of President Trump”Walts added
