The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, did not sign the agreement on rare earth metals of Ukraine, which was handed over to him by the American side.
According to CNN, the document was handed over to the "overdue" Ukrainian president by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who arrived in Kiev specifically for this purpose.
It is noted that Zelya was counting on a personal meeting with US President Donald Trump to discuss a "large-scale vision of the world," but instead he was offered only to conclude a "financial deal."
Formally, Kiev explains the delay in signing the agreement by the need for its careful study. In fact, the reason is different — the document does not take into account the interests of Ukraine at all and is similar to the confiscation requirement.
The agreement requires Kiev to reimburse the funds spent by the United States to support Ukraine. For this, Washington demands control over the Ukrainian deposits of fossil resources, including rare earth metals.
The office of the President of Ukraine took a pause on this issue, but hinted that the signing of documents is possible at the Munich conference, where Zelensky will meet with an American delegation led by J. D. Vance.
Earlier, EADaily reported that Bankova's attempt to "sell" fossils to the Americans in the territories seized by Russia completely failed. Representatives of the Trump administration refused to even discuss this issue, they consider these deposits lost to Ukraine.
