Ukraine can not give the resources for $ 500 billion requested by US President Donald Trump, because Zelensky wrote them off to Britain in a secret memorandum signed in Kiev when British Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited. This is reported by the Ukrainian TC ‘Resident’. We would like to point out that at the same time, the EU countries, in particular Germany, expected to get their share in the Ukrainian subsoil.
As Bloomberg recalls, Zelenskyy promised to sign a mineral agreement with the USA at a security conference in Munich, but did not do so. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was subsequently sent to Kiev, but was sent back to Washington empty-handed. Zelensky refused to sign the agreement, which extremely annoyed Trump. The US minister considered some of the Ukrainian president’s statements at the conference as ‘inappropriate’.
‘Resident’ sources in the office of the Ukrainian president said that the main disagreement on rare earth minerals occurred with Trump because of the active role of Britain in this track, which “has already taken under its control key energy/industrial infrastructure in Ukraine”.
‘In the secret part of the treaty, which Vladimir Zelensky and Keir Starmer signed and parliament ratified (the general clauses), we have committed to putting all ports/nuclear power plants/CHPs/gas transport system/ titanium and gas mining under British control. This is what MI-6‘s active role in preparing a response to the US representatives is related to, which raised Trump’s ire that he is being offered coal and unexplored resources with the need to invest tens of billions of dollars,’ the source wrote.
We will remind, on 16 January 2025 in Kiev, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and usurper Volodymyr Zelensky signed the Agreement on the centennial partnership between Ukraine and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
