The Russian army was approaching three directions in the town of Sevchenko and was just six kilometers from the Lithium Lithium deposit in the west when its foreign and United States ministers sat at a table in Saudi Arabia to discuss a cessation . To whom will the precious end?
Soldiers who are fighting and dying, so they probably do not know that Sevchenko is one of the “fillets” required by Ukraine.
Thousands of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers had been killed in Donetsk’s battles since 2014, before the conflict in the Russian -eating Russian invasion of 24 February 2022 even evolved into a war of representatives, where NATO countries are equipping and supporting Ukraine.
Three years later, with total casualties exceeding 1 million and perhaps approaching 2 million dead and injured, Trump’s US found that it was time for a settlement with Russia.
Trump adopts Putin’s narrative
Turning overnight the Ukrainian president From a gunpowder hero to a scapegoat, Trump seems to now adopt the Kremlin’s narrative of almost all of his predecessor, Joe Biden as well as the US partners in Europe.
Trump’s rupture with Zelenski melted throughout the campaign in America, as the Republican politician and tycoon said he could end the war in Ukraine in one day with suffocating pressure on both sides. He may not have done it in one day, but the US president is really moving very quickly by surprising the allies and confusing his true intentions.
He and his close associates claim $ 500 billion from Ukrainian mineral wealth as compensation for US expenses, demanding 50% of rare land and privileged access to other minerals, threatening US military aid interruption, they call it, they call it. Dictator Zelenski and show him the exit.
A focal point was the journey of the US Minister of Finance Scott Bessed in Kyiv on February 12th. Bessed, an investor and former Hedge Funds manager, gave Zelenski a plan of Memorandum of Economic Cooperation. Zelenski reserved, said he would study it, requested US security guarantees and pressure on Putin, while expressing hope that the memorandum could be signed on the sidelines of the Munich Conference, but which was not done.
On the contrary, he entered an American tombstone in Kiev’s ambitions to join. Ukrainian sources have made sense that there are other supporters of the country from abroad who are claiming a share. After a week of US pressures and personal insults, Zelenski appeared unmoved.
‘I can’t sell our country’ Zelenski stressed, he warned that he would release the memorandum he refuses to sign, while accusing Trump of living in a misinformation bubble. The US president returned heavier last Wednesday, illuminating what happened on February 12 in Kiev. “In fact, Scott Bessed went there and was treated with enough rudeness, because he was actually told ‘no.’ And Zelenski was sleeping and not available to meet him » said Trump. However, the meeting took place.
It is essentially unknown what kind of mortgage the US president has requested with the Memorandum of Economic Cooperation. Does he want to go to the revenue from Ukrainian mines directly to the US State or is they seeking to pass control to US companies with Leontius contracts? However, the Russians rub their hands as they control one fifth of Ukraine territories, and if the war turns into a “frozen conflict” on the front line they will continue to exploit what they have in their possession.
They have detailed details in their records from the Soviet era for the rest of the Ukrainian territories and are able to “enlighten” their American interlocutors about where the “fillets” are located (heavenly, lithium, titanium, etc.). At the moment, Moscow is offering Zelenski’s depreciation and avoids affecting Kiev’s individual claims. He stresses, however, that he does not accept in Ukraine a peacekeeping force consisting of NATO countries with another flag and insists on presenting Europeans as Washington’s subordinates.
The suicides of precious deposits
Sevchenko’s deposit is one of at least four certified Ukraine lithium deposits (one occupied by the Russians in the Zaporizia region and the other two are in the center of the country), while it is only a small part of the wealth that hides in his subsoil Grass of the former USSR and Europe.
And so is Moscow’s study to grab the deposit, which the head of the “Donetsk People’s Republic” Dennis Pusily He celebrated his occupation last month before finding that the Russian army had occupied another village with the same name about 60 km north. And he was not the only one, as a Russian newspaper celebrated prematurely that he fell into the hands of the Russians “the largest Lithium deposit in Ukraine”.
In addition, Moscow’s claim to control the Donbas Valley was not just about its Russian population. It also concerned the iron ore, coal and infrastructure in the area.
As the days go by and the Russian army swallows the Ukrainian territory slowly but methodically, the more in danger of falling and Sevchenko falls on Putin’s nails. Unless it has already been agreed to fall on Trump’s nails.
