Zelenskyy says he is ready to make public agreement with US on rare earth metals
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is ready to make public the draft agreement with the United States on rare earth metals.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to Ukrinform.
"The document was not clear, it was clear only in one thing - we must give 50% of everything listed in the document. By the way, we are not afraid of this, and I am ready for the publicity of this document," Zelenskyy said.
At the same time, the head of state emphasized that the agreement does not contain any mention of security guarantees for Ukraine.
"I respect the United States, and that's why I told the U.S. Treasury Secretary that this document is not ready," Zelenskyy added.
As a reminder, Trump said he wants to sign a $500 million deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on access to rare earth resources and natural gas in Ukraine in exchange for security guarantees in any potential peace settlement.
President Zelenskyy said that the agreement with the US on minerals would be signed at the ministerial level when ready and subject to guarantees. Currently, this document is not ready to protect Ukraine's interest.
