In an interview with Reuters, Zelanki stressed that Kiev did not suggest that they “distribute” the resources, but proposed to provide them based on mutually beneficial partnerships. – Americans should help (eds) and therefore get the most – said the Ukrainian president, cited by Reuters.
US President Donald Trump proposed on Monday that he had requested Ukraine to ensure access to rare lands in exchange for further military aid. – Ukraine says they have incredibly valuable metals in rare lands. We want them to set them as a guarantee. We want guarantees because we give them a handful of money – Trump said.
As Reuters reminds us, Zielnski has already done Zielnski in the fall of 2024. He spoke to Trump about sharing Ukrainian sediments in rare lands, important for the production of high-performance magnets, electric motors and household appliances, in exchange for security assurances.
The Ukrainian president told Reuters that Ukraine has the largest titanium reserves in Europe, and is needed for the aviation and space industry, and that uranium is used to produce nuclear energy and weapons.
“Many titanium deposits are located in northwestern Ukraine, away from the battle,” Reuters said. According to Ukrainian leaders, Russia knew more about the location of Ukraine’s major resources from Soviet geological studies. Some deposits are in Ukraine’s territory occupied by Russian troops.
Zełenski proposes the use of underground warehouses
Zielnski also mentioned the proposal to use Ukraine’s extensive underground warehouses to store liquefied natural gas in the United States.
– I know that Trump’s administration is very interested (…). We are ready and pleased to provide LNG supply to Ukraine. And of course we will become the hub of all Europe – the politician said.
For Zelansky, it is important to meet with the US president before meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Trump. “If not, it would look like a dialogue about Ukraine without Ukraine,” he said.
The US president said Friday that he will likely meet with Zełnski in Washington next week. He also suggested that he would soon be able to meet Vladimir Putin.
