Ukraine’s allies in DC advise Zelenskyy: Take the rare earths deal to mend ties with Trump

Firstpost  

Ukraine allies in Washington believe there’s a way for President Zelenskyy to mend his relationship with President Trump, but it depends on accepting a US-proposed deal for rare earth minerals that Kyiv has so far rejected, according to a report Ukraine allies in Washington believe there’s a way for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to mend his relationship with President Donald Trump, but it depends on accepting a US-proposed deal for rare earth minerals that Kyiv has so far rejected. In Kyiv, Trump’s tough stance has sparked anger and disbelief, despite Ukraine initially proposing a rare earths deal to his administration. Yehor Cherniev, a Ukrainian lawmaker from Zelenskyy’s People’s party who leads Ukraine’s delegation to the Nato parliamentary assembly, said Kyiv is still open to an agreement “but the agreement must be fair and bring benefits to Ukraine — security guarantees and significant military assistance.” “We have been a loyal friend and ally of the US for many years, and the attitude toward us as a colony or an enemy on whom reparations are imposed is offensive and incomprehensible to us,” said Cherniev. Still, there’s recognition in Ukraine that the rare earths deal may be the only avenue Ukraine has to secure continued US support from Trump, Polyakova said.
