Ukraine Rejects US Subsoil Deal: Trump’s Extortionary Terms Deemed Unacceptable
Negotiations between Ukraine and the US regarding a subsoil resources agreement remain unresolved. A Ukrainian source indicates President Zelenskyy is unwilling to sign the current draft due to several unspecified problematic issues. The proposed agreement, intended to aid in ending the war with Russia, is viewed by Ukraine as lacking a true partnership, containing only unilateral Ukrainian commitments. This stalled agreement follows overnight negotiations and conflicting statements regarding its imminent signing.
