Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has encouraged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to secure Ukraine's future by finalizing a minerals deal with the United States. Johnson believes the deal, which would grant the US access to Ukraine's valuable mineral resources, is crucial for obtaining security guarantees amid the ongoing war with Russia. While Zelensky has expressed some willingness to discuss terms, he remains cautious about commitments that could financially burden future generations of Ukrainians. Diplomatic tensions have escalated, particularly following remarks made by former President Trump criticizing Ukraine's leadership.
Zelensky's rejection of a 400bn demand underscores Ukraine's cautious approach to mineral deals. He refuses agreements that could burden future generations of Ukrainians.
Johnson's call for a minerals deal reflects a strategic alliance, emphasizing that the U.S. must support Ukraine not only with arms but also economic stability.
