EU offers Ukraine its own deal on rare earth metals - Politico

Sejourne about rare earth materials

The European Union has offered Ukraine its own agreement on the use of rare earth materials. This agreement is supposed to be more favourable than the US proposal - although there are no details yet.

According to Censor.NET, citing Politico, this was stated by European Commissioner for Industrial Strategy Stephane Sejourne.

"Twenty-one of the 30 critical materials Europe needs can be provided by Ukraine in a win-win partnership," Sejourne said.

He also noted: "The added value Europe offers is that we will never demand a deal that’s not mutually beneficial."

The details of the European agreement are not yet known.

As a reminder, Russia is ready to offer the US to work with rare earth metals in Russia and the occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as to develop aluminium together.
