Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that Kyiv has officially received a new proposal from the US regarding a mineral resources deal. This proposal would grant Washington access to Ukraine’s natural resources in exchange for increased military aid. The initially planned deal, which aimed to extract strategically crucial minerals from Ukraine, was supposed to be signed in Washington last month. However, it was halted following a highly publicized televised dispute between US President Donald Trump and Zelensky. Nick Rushworth provides further details on the situation.
