Kiev has indicated that it is ready to work with the United States to provide access to its rare earth resources in exchange for continued military assistance. This is reported by the Financial Times newspaper, citing a source close to the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky.

The source noted that the statement by American President Donald Trump coincides with one of the provisions of the so-called Zelensky victory plan, submitted to the United States in the fall of 2024. We are talking about the proposed special conditions for cooperation in the field of key resources.

Yesterday, US President Donald Trump offered assistance to Ukraine in exchange for rare earth metals.

At the same time, there were those in Europe who criticized the plans of Ukraine and the United States. In particular, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that Ukraine should be able to provide for itself and its recovery after the conflict with its own resources. He noted that the plan to use Ukrainian resources to finance defense support looks "very selfish."", transmits Tagesschau.
