The Trump administration is seeking new terms for US access to critical minerals and energy assets in Ukraine, widening its economic demands on Kyiv as it pushes for a peace deal with Russia.
Washington wants Kyiv to agree to detailed provisions about who owns and controls a joint investment fund, and to a broader scope, potentially covering US ownership of other economic assets such as Ukraine’s nuclear power plants, two Ukrainian officials said.
I hope the EU steps in and manages to get the deal instead.
It’s a risk, but access to these resources would boost European advancement to world-leading levels.
Well since Trumplon’s shitshow took off many European countries seem to have sped up their bureaucracies to say the least. Billions are already going to Ukraine this year, and actual weapons too. And I’m sure they all have their eyes on the windfall, too.
