Ukraine and Los Trump with the possibility of mineral wealth

Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinski benefits from the country’s large deposits for rare ground materials and critical minerals to win the benefit of President Trump before negotiations with high risk to end Russia’s war of aggression.

Trump said on Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to start negotiations immediately, with plans to meet in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Trump’s senior officials in Europe this week are wandering with Ukrainian and European officials in plans to end the war.

Ukraine presents itself as a reliable partner in the global competition for the main metal resources – if the occupied Russian forces are expelled from Ukrainian territory where some of these resources are located.

“We have a lot of rare sources and rare materials, which is very important to produce weapons. Lesca Zaburana, Ukrainian member of Parliament, told The Hill, after meetings in Washington, DC last week:

“For us it is very important to liberate [these territories] Because in this case, these resources will be developed by Ukraine and the United States of America. But not Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. “

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessin was in Kiev on Wednesday and said that dealing with minerals with Washington would provide Ukraine a “security shield” after the war.

“Security matters. Moscow and its allies cannot be allowed to take control of Ukraine, and this means that we must work together – Across the Free World,” Zelensky posted on X about his meeting with Bessent.

Trump said he wanted Ukraine to provide about $ 500 billion of rare Earth elements, indicating the payment of American military and economic aid provided to Kiev since Russia has launched its invasion on February 2022.

Trump says that the United States provided nearly $ 300 billion to support Ukraine. Federal monitoring reports that Ukraine monitors aid is about $ 183 billion of US aid binding, with less than 90 billion dollars.

But Politico stated that the negotiations between Zelinski and American officials had started a rock start. According to Ukraine, Ukraine in an American proposal calls for the rights of the United States to half of the rare land minerals in Ukraine in exchange for military support.

Rare ground metals are the main components of consumer electronics, electric cars and military production. These materials are usually found in relatively small sediments all over the world, making them immune to me and thus difficult to reach. China is currently dominating the production and processing of rare global land.

Among the largest deposits in Ukraine Lithium and graphite. Although rare ground minerals are not considered, these materials are valuable for the production of battery cells. Other Ukraine deposits can be used for rilleium and uranium for nuclear energy and weapons. Titanium is also used in Ukraine, in the air and space industry.

The rare Earth materials in Ukraine include lanthanom and serium, which are used in TV and lighting devices; Newmium, which is used in wind energy and batteries; Erbium and YTTRIUM, which is used in the laser, mentioned Reuters.

Zelinski told Reuters in an interview last week that less than 20 percent of the mineral resources in Ukraine, including half of the rare land deposits, are subject to the Russian occupation. Zelinski called for the assistance of the allies in protecting what Ukraine -controlled, especially in the eastern part of the country, is the front lines of fighting.

“We need to stop Putin and protect what we have,” Zelinski said.

Gracelin Paskran, director of the critical metal security program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told The Hill that “Trump knows Trump is transactions, so he plays with a working speech.”

She noted that rare land is used in both low-carbon energy, including engines and magnets used in wind turbines-but they are especially important in weapons.

“The rare land is found in tanks, missiles, combat aircraft, warships and the most major defense techniques,” Paskran said.

However, she said that in practice in reality, the minerals of the war that the war torn from Earth and to American technology are considered a special-special battle and that it takes years or even decades to prepare a mine.

“Whoever wants to go to an 80 -year investment within the borders of Russia? She said,” No one, “noting that because of the war, the infrastructure can also need to be rebuilt to operate the mine.

While US military aid did not stop to Ukraine, there are no new aid packages. Ukrainians increase a warning that the freezing of Trump’s foreign aid, which stopped the economic support of Ukraine, is just a lack of weapons on the front lines.

This support helps repair energy networks in Ukraine amid uncompromising Russian attacks, which aim to freeze the civilian population and wear their determination. American economic support also helps to pay the salaries of medical professionals and supported by the state, allowing the Ukrainian government to give the army.

Defense Minister Beit Higseth topped the headlines on Wednesday when he said that Ukraine should not expect NATO membership – something that Kiev and its supporters in Europe are seen as the only guarantee of deterrence against Putin.

Trump is often proud of his good relationship with Putin, but he threatened the sharp tariffs of Russia and its allies if the war does not end soon.

Victoria Cutz, who served as the Deputy National Security Adviser during the first administration of Trump, said that US trade relations with Europe are a driving force in the cause of Ukraine’s importance to Trump.

“If the conflict in Ukraine joins a NATO ally, this will undermine economic trade between the continent and the United States, and lead to additional security obligations for the United States,” said Cots at the Heritage Corporation.

“I think this is the reason that he said that Ukraine is important, and why he is interested in solving it in a reasonable way.”

The Zelensky Stadium to Trump talks about his understanding of the president’s confirmation to secure access to minerals around the world, by coercion or strength if necessary. Trump appears to try to take over Greenland from Denmark is linked to the island’s natural resources.

Coal, graphite, uranium, and rare ground minerals can be found under Greenland soil. Danish lands also say that there are “tremendous potential” to explore oil and gas off their coast.

National Security Adviser, Trump Mike Walz, in January, Greenland’s metal, oil and gas resources when discussing the president’s desire to take the island.

Zelensky suggested for the first time to develop metal resources in Ukraine in the HJS victory plan, which was placed in October. The plan pursued a trip to Kiev by Sindi Richard Blumenant (D-Connn) and Lindsie Graham (RS.C)-Trump ally-are close-up to talking to developing a strategic agreement to develop “more than one trillion dollars worth rare ground minerals.”

The lawmakers said at that time: “The expansion of economic cooperation with Ukraine makes America stronger and accelerates the economic recovery of Ukraine.”

Ukraine is blessed with lithium, large Tathium, and other ground minerals needed by the American economy. An agreement with Ukraine in this field would make the United States less dependent on foreign opponents of rare ground minerals. “
