Ukraine has mineral reserves such as lithium, titanium, gallium, manganese, uranium and cobalt. US President Donald Trump wants to give all these minerals to America in return for the help of the Ukraine army. Trump intends to achieve these mineral reserves and keep the US ahead of China and Russia. Ukraine, who has been completely destroyed by war, still has things that make it rich.
Zelansky’s tone softened slightly
The voice of Ukrainian President Zelanski has become slightly softened after a discussion with US President Donald Trump at the White House. There was a hot debate in the conversation between the two about the ceasefire. After which the matter became more complicated. And Trump refused to give military assistance to Ukraine. But now it has come to light that if the US gives military assistance to Ukraine, then in return Ukraine will give all its minerals to America as compensation and America will be ahead of Russia and China. But on the other hand, Ukrainian President Jailonsky has not yet agreed to the matter.
