The proposal focused on how the US could use Ukraine&#8217;s rare earth minerals \u201cas compensation\u201d for support already given to Ukraine by the Biden administration and as payment for future aid, current and former senior Ukrainian officials said, speaking anonymously so they could speak freely.Ukraine has vast reserves of critical minerals that are used in the aerospace, defence and nuclear industries. The Trump administration has indicated it is interested in accessing them to reduce dependence on China, but Zelenskyy said any exploitation would need to be tied to security guarantees for Ukraine that would deter future Russian aggression. \u201cFor me is very important the connection between some kind of security guarantees and some kind of investment,\u201d the Ukrainian president said. Zelenskyy did not go into details about why he instructed his officials not to sign the document, which was given to Ukrainian officials on Wednesday by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bassent on a visit to Kyiv.\u201cIt\u2019s a colonial agreement and Zelenskyy cannot sign it,\u201d the former senior official said.White House National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes did not explicitly confirm the offer, but said in a statement that \u201cPresident Zelenskyy is being short-sighted about the excellent opportunity the Trump administration has presented to Ukraine.\u201d The Trump administration has grown weary of sending additional US aid to Ukraine and Hughes said a minerals deal would allow American taxpayers to \u201crecoup\u201d money sent to Kyiv, while growing Ukraine\u2019s economy.Hughes added that the White House believes \u201cbinding economic ties with the United States will be the best guarantee against future aggression and an integral part of lasting peace.\u201d He added: \u201cThe US recognises this, the Russians recognise this, and the Ukrainians must recognise this.\u201dUS officials in discussions with their Ukrainian counterparts in Munich were commercially minded and largely concentrated on the specifics of exploring the minerals and how to form a possible partnership to do that with Ukraine, the senior official said. The potential value of the deposits in Ukraine has not yet been discussed, with much unexplored or close to the front line.The US proposal apparently did not take into account how the deposits would be secured in the event of continuing Russian aggression. The official suggested the U.S. did not have \u201cready answers,\u201d to that question and that one of their takeaways from discussions in Munich will be how to secure any mineral extraction operation in Ukraine involving people and infrastructure.ADVERTISEMENTAny deal must be in accordance with Ukrainian law and acceptable to the Ukrainian people, the senior Ukrainian official said. \u201cSubsoil belongs to Ukrainians under the Constitution,\u201d Kseniiia Orynchak, founder of the National Association of Mining Industry of Ukraine, previously told the AP, suggesting a deal would need popular support. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic President Zelenskyy said any mineral exploitation by the US would need to be tied to security guarantees for Ukraine that would deter future Russian aggression.
