A US Congressional delegation in Munich reportedly asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to sign a document granting the US 50% rights to Ukraine’s future mineral resources, but he declined. The request was made during a meeting in Munich, according to a journalist’s report.
The Ukrainian leader has expressed support for a strategic partnership with the US in rare earths mining, which could be part of an agreement on economic support and security guarantees for Ukraine, but the terms of such an agreement are still unclear.
