Selenskyj offers rare earths in exchange for military aid to the USA

Torezk, Ukraine - Wolodymyr Selenskyj, the Ukrainian president, is ready to offer the United States access to valuable resources of rare earths in exchange for military help and security guarantees. These resources could be crucial for the production of high -performance magnets and electric motors that are necessary for many high technologies. According to Selenskyj, there are less than 20 percent of the Ukrainian mineral resources, including about half of all rare earths, in areas that are not occupied by Russia. "The Americans helped the most, so the Americans should earn the most," said Selenskyj during an interview with Reuters, like OE24.at reported.

Selenskyj emphasized that his approach was not to simply give away these resources, but to strive for an advantageous partnership. He was optimistic about talking to the upcoming US President Donald Trump, who wants to call him next week, talking about these topics. Trump has already expressed interest in Ukrainian mineral resources and believes that Ukraine is ready to export these valuable raw materials to the USA. In terms of the political situation, Trump said that he was considering a meeting with Selenskyj in Washington to discuss this strategic alliance, as well as n-tv.de reported.
