Zelensky Races to Secure Rare Earth Deal After Putin Offers to Work with Trump in The Donbass

Zelensky is reportedly planning an in-person trip to Washington on Friday to secure a deal with Trump that would give the U.S. access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. But while Zelensky has pushed for the deal to include security guarantees for Kiev, it’s not clear yet if it does anything beyond dropping Trump’s demand for $500 Billion worth of minerals from Ukraine.

But while Trump is focused on Kiev needing to pay back the funding and support they were given by the Biden Admin, Russian President Putin is entering the chat and he says he is ready to offer resources to American partners in joint projects, including mining in Russia's “new territories” in the Donbass.

So, is that why Zelensky is suddenly rushing to sign an agreement? And will that deal be worth the paper it’s written on, given that Russia controls the majority of the resources Trump is lobbying for?
