The United States and Ukraine have reportedly finalized an economic deal focused on Ukraine's rare earth minerals, which Ukrainian officials hope will secure ongoing military assistance. The original concept for the minerals deal stemmed from Ukraine and was included in their victory blueprint presented to the U.S. in 2024. An adviser to Ukraine's strategic industries stated the deal reflects a shift in narrative from mere dependence on support to proactive engagement in economic collaborations, signaling a readiness to adapt to ongoing challenges amid the protracted conflict.
We included it in our victory plan earlier, which was presented by our president to the US and the rest of our partners in 2024.
Very soon we'll get used to the very unusual nature of this negotiating process. At the same time, we are not a nation of freeloaders.
