Trump Says US Will Not Guarantee Ukraine's Security Ahead of High-Stakes Summit with Zelensky
ai generated text
Trump has framed the emerging deal as a chance for Ukraine to pay back the US for aid, but Zelensky sees it as a necessary step to secure his country's future security. Putin's full-scale invasion has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths on both sides, making Ukraine's security concerns pressing.
Extracting rare minerals will be extremely expensive and will require years (and) billions of upfront investments, infrastructure development, and workforce training before production can even begin.
This deal could be a great success or it could pass quietly. And the big success depends on conversation with Trump.
Whatever happens, we do not believe Russians that they want peace.
If we understand that the U.S.A. [is] one of the countries or one of the main countries to give security guarantees, then that can be considered a success.
This (economic) agreement may be part of future security guarantees, but I want to understand the broader vision. What awaits Ukraine?
It's been damaged, it is not at its current capacity, if restored it would account for America's entire imports of aluminum for an entire year.
It's a great deal for Ukraine, too, because they get us over there.
Now we're going to be getting all of that money back, plus a lot more.
The previous administration put us in a very bad position, but we've been able to make a deal where we're going to get the money back and and a lot of money in the future.
We're going to have Europe do that because … Europe is their next-door neighbor.
My number one thing is to get that stopped. My number two thing is, I don't want to have to pay any more money.
If the US invests in Ukraine and they want to protect those investments … that moves towards security guarantees.
There is very limited data on whether Ukraine's rare earth elements and other strategic materials are commercially viable to mine [...] Existing mapping [on which all calculations are based] was done 30–60 years ago by the Soviet Union and relies on old exploration methods.
As far as I know, there are no economically viable rare earth deposits in Ukraine. I have evaluated clay deposits that I thought had potential, but I found that they are not viable. This does not mean that there are none, but that more exploration and evaluation is needed.
