Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that a deal with the U.S. over Ukraine’s mineral resources has become more balanced after ongoing negotiations. The agreement, the development of Ukraine’s valuable minerals, including rare earths, has strategic and economic significance.
The negotiations come amid pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has tied continued American military support to a form of compensation—casting mineral access as a return on the billions in aid the U.S. has provided since Russia’s invasion in 2022. However, Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal confirmed the deal will not involve retroactive payments for past U.S. assistance, easing domestic concerns.
Many Ukrainians view their resistance to Russia not only as self-defense but also as a stand for broader Western interests. That view has clashed with Trump’s transactional approach, especially as Kyiv pursues NATO membership and seeks firm U.S. security guarantees within the deal.
Tensions between Trump and Zelenskyy have marked the negotiations. Trump, pushing for rapid peace with Russia, has proposed recognizing Crimea as Russian territory, something Ukraine and its European allies reject outright. There are also disagreements over timelines for lifting sanctions on Russia and guarantees for Ukraine’s security and financial future.
Despite their rocky relationship, both leaders recognize the mutual dependency: Trump needs Zelenskyy’s cooperation to secure a peace deal that would support his political goals, while Ukraine needs Trump’s influence to pressure Russia into backing away from its hardest demands.
