Ukraine Rare Earths Deal: Zelensky Rejects Us Minerals-For-Aid Proposal Amid Tense Negotiations

Ukraine’s rare earths deal with the US collapsed after President Zelensky refused to grant Washington access to its mineral reserves.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Zelensky just an hour to agree, offering military aid in return.

Trump sought $500 billion worth of rare earths for past US support.

Reports suggest Washington may send troops to guard these resources.

Moscow condemned the deal, calling it unconstitutional.

Ukraine, holding vast mineral wealth, is still seeking a better deal as discussions continue at global security summits.
