Zelenskyy Rejects Trump’s Retroactive Debt Demand for US Aid to Ukraine
President Zelenskyy rejected a US proposal to retroactively classify past military aid as loans, a condition included in a revised “mineral deal” presented by the White House. The Ukrainian president stated that while future aid might involve conditions, past assistance would not be subject to repayment. The new agreement differs substantially from previous versions, incorporating unforeseen stipulations. Zelenskyy declined to elaborate on the specifics.
