Ukraine is not going to give its minerals even to strategic partners. We propose to develop them in partnership.
This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Reuters on Friday, February 7.
"This is very rich land. This does not mean that we are giving it to anyone, even to strategic partners. It is about partnership ... Let's develop it together, make money, and most importantly, it is about the security of the Western world," Zelenskyy said.
According to him, there may be different investment models for the development of minerals. Ukraine first shared this plan with the United States, and the partners can agree on investments among themselves, the President of Ukraine noted.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on February 3, Trump said that he wants to conclude an agreement with Ukraine on the supply of Ukrainian rare earth minerals to the United States.
On February 4, a source in the Office of the President told the media that a clause on minerals had been added to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's strategic Victory Plan specifically for the United States.
On February 5, Trump said that Washington was negotiating over Ukraine and assured that he would do everything possible to end the war.
