Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he remains “ready to sign” a US-Ukraine minerals deal despite leaving the White House without an agreement following a contentious meeting with Trump.
Speaking in London after a European leaders’ summit, Zelensky emphasized that their fractious meeting only benefited Putin.
Refusing to discuss territorial concessions, he stated the “best security guarantees are a strong Ukrainian army.”
Responding to calls from Senator Graham that he resign, Zelensky quipped he is “exchangeable for NATO” membership, saying this would mean he had “fulfilled my mission.”
Yeah, Zelensky was never against a mineral deal. His whole reason of not signing was because the US doesn’t want to give Ukraine assurances for where Russia breaks the peace treaty again.
Quite literally what Trump is trying to do is muscle the wealth of Ukraine away from them and leave them with nothing. If Zelensky agrees to that, thousands of Ukrainians will have died for nothing.
Remember when Ukraine made a deal to give up it’s nuclear weapons in exchange for security? pepperidge farm remembers.
Thanks for posting a source 😁
He totally should agree to whatever, and just reneg on the deal once he gets what he wants. It’s what Trump would do anyways, fuck any actual “deal” you have with dishonorable people.
We don’t make deals with fascist states, we will take advantage of them if the opportunity arises.
Any deal with the current US administration isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
He’s better off without a US deal. Trump won’t do shit to help him. That’s as good as signing a deal with Putin.
True as Trump might outsource mining operations to Russian state owned companies…
