The Trump administration proposed to President Zelenskyy giving to the US 50% ownership of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals as reimbursement for military support, but the Ukrainian president reportedly declined to sign this document immediately.
This comes after President Trump publicly expressed interest in securing access to Ukraine’s natural resources in exchange for US military aid. Ukraine possessessignificant deposits of critical minerals, including titanium, uranium, lithium, and rare earth elements essential for advanced technologies
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy expressed concerns over Russia’s ongoing attempts to seize these assets, noting that up to 20% of Ukraine’s mineral wealth is already under Russian occupation. He emphasized that Kyiv is not planning to simply “give away” its minerals to the US, but rather focus on collaboration and shared profits via a mutually beneficial partnership.
