Ukraine's Stance on US Minerals Deal

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his concerns on Wednesday regarding the United States' frequent changes to the terms of a minerals deal. Despite these challenges, Zelensky emphasized Ukraine's desire not to appear as opposing the deal outright. "We are in favor of the cooperation with the United States of America," he stated, highlighting Ukraine's consistent efforts to send positive signals towards the agreement.

Behind the Scenes of the Deal

The discussion comes in the wake of a notable confrontation between Zelensky and US President Donald Trump, alongside Vice President JD Vance, at the White House. This tense exchange occurred just before the scheduled signing of the agreement, with Zelensky departing the scene prematurely.
