Selenskyj and Trump: Ukraine secures raw material deals without guarantees!

Kiew, Ukraine - Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj is about to have a pioneering raw material agreement with the United States. According to reports from vienna.at and T-Online will oblige the Ukraine agreement from their valuable raw materials, especially rare earths, in to convict a common fund. This is part of a comprehensive plan to ensure the support of the United States in the fight against Russian aggression. Trump, on the other hand, emphasized that the security guarantees for Ukraine are not part of this agreement, which triggered concern with Selenskyj.

The talks between the Ukrainian government and Washington are about to be completed, since Selenskyj is supposedly ready to sign the agreement on Friday in Washington. In the last draft version, the agreement does not provide any financial transfers to the United States until the fund is set up, which means that the East-West discussion about raw materials remains particularly urgent. So far, the two countries have not agreed in the negotiations on security guarantees, which led to tensions. However, the Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Schmyhal confirmed that the agreement would offer support for the Ukrainian security efforts.

The pressure on Ukraine is growing

The negotiations are not without challenges. Trump viewed the agreement as part of his efforts to justify the US financial support services as part of a larger deal. In the meantime, Putin has also made proposals for a raw material agreement, also in the areas of Ukraine occupied by Russia. This situation is almost a race for resources between the United States and Russia. At the upcoming talks and the upcoming meeting between Selenskyj and Trump, it will be decided whether the agreement will ultimately come about.
