Zelnski: The Mineral Resources Agreement with the United States is not Ukrainian keeper and its interests

reports
Ukrainian President continued at a news conference with reporters: I did not allow the ministers to sign the agreement, because in my opinion, this agreement is not ready to support us and our interests.

On the other hand, NBC television reports quoted US officials as saying that Washington was seeking to obtain 5 % of Ukrainian rare minerals and claims If agreed with Russia to end the war, it will be ready to deploy US forces to protect Kiev in exchange for half of Ukraine’s rare minerals!

US Treasury Minister Scott Bessment during his visit to Kiev on February 7th, drafted the deal to Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelksky.

Zelkski also refused to sign the agreement and said he should study it and consult with others in this regard.

“It is important to talk about investing in Ukraine and this should be carefully examined by legal experts,” he said. We can consider how the profit distribution (mineral resource agreement) is considered if it is related to a security agreement. There is no security guarantee in the proposed agreement. To sign a mineral resource agreement, Ukraine must know that this agreement will be effective for both countries, as well as benefit and security for Ukraine.
