Why is Ukraine negotiations on the use of US minerals?

Kiev and Washington are close to the signing of an agreement to sign the US secrecy of Ukraine’s mineral fields, and the minister of Ukraine.

Olga Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, He said in X “Negotiations have been very constructive, almost all the main details have been completed.”

He added that “We are committed to finishing this speed this speed to sign.”

Zelensky first included a contract proposal on minerals in the “Victory Plan” presented by Trump in September.

The idea was to offer a material reason for the presidential candidate to continue supporting Ukraine.

Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on Monday Boris Johnson spoke to the BBC in Kiev Such an agreement was a “great reward” because the United States provides the provision of “free, sovereign and reliable Ukraine in accordance with Donald Trump.”

Kyiv estimates that about 5% of the world’s critical raw materials in Ukraine. This is the Ukrainian Geological Survey, which means that this is a 19 million tons of proven reservation, which is a 19 million tons of proven reservation, which is the Nation of Geological Survey, “one of the first five leading countries” for the supply of the mineral .

Graphite is used to prepare batteries for electric vehicles.

Ukraine is also one-third of all European lithium deposits, the main component of existing batteries. Before the Russian occupation, the global share of Ukraine’s titanium production was a light metal, 7% used in the construction of everything from planes to power plants.

In addition, Ukraine has important fields of rare land metals. These are a group of 17 elements used to produce weapons, wind turbines, electronics and other products that are vital in the modern world.

However, some mineral deposits were seized by Russia. Yulia Svyrydenko, Ukrainian Economy’s Minister of Economy, the resources with resources worth $ 350 billion (£ 277 billion) in the occupied territories.

In 2022, a geopolitical risk consultant in Canada, 63% of Russia’s 63% of Ukrainian coal mines and manganese, cezy, tantum and rare land fields occupied an assessment.

Secdev’s main principal Dr. Robert Muggah says such minerals added “strategic and economic measurement” in Russia’s sustainable aggression. By capturing them, Moscow rejects access to Ukraine, expands its resource base and affects global supply chains.

Critical minerals explain Dr Muggah, who said, “The foundation of the 21st century economy.” These are the key to renewable energy, military application and industrial infrastructure. They “play a strategic role in geopolitics and geoeconomics.”

In addition, the United States is interested in an agreement with Ukraine’s mineral resources, because according to the Geological Investment Group, the United States wants to reduce dependence on China, which manages 75% of the world’s rare land fields.

In December, China has previously banned several years of rare earth minerals to the United States, which has limited the previous year to the United States.

Steffishtyna turned out to be a few sticky points before the claim to be close to an agreement.

On Wednesday, Zelensky said the United States would reflect US assistance to Ukraine, noting that the United States will reflect the US assistance to Ukraine during Russia.

“I can’t sell our state,” he said.

The provisions of the Second Deal Project on Sunday appeared to be tougher than the first document.

Instead of the 50/50 revenue split, the revised project told journalists at a press conference on Sunday, USA.

Zelenzky said they want any deal to enter security guarantees.

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called on a contract for the “Great Prize” in Ukraine’s miners in Monday.

The transaction is “Rip-off” and “These Ukrainians are the ones that have been up to a free, sovereign and reliable Ukraine, which are up to Donald Trump,” he said.

Some commentators described the US proposal as a “colonial”, but are interested in joint exploration of Kiev resources.

The development of these mineral resources is extremely difficult and bahadi, IRYNA SUPRUN, Executive Director of the Geological Investment Group, a mining advice company in Ukraine. He claims that if they could attract American investors to develop their natural resources, it will be very useful for the country’s economy.

“We will receive so much technology of our mining industry,” said MS SUPRRIN. “We will receive capital. This means more work, tax payments. We will gain from the development of mineral deposits.”
