Seems that Trump has signed a deal with Ukraine (not Zelensky) to support them, somewhat, in return for mined minerals. Is this accurate and true? If it is, how will that play into a deal Trump might have been considering with Russia... a deal for many times the minerals that Ukraine can offer?
Part of this is false information.
True, Zelensky did not sign the deal. Trump did not sign the deal either. Do you think Trump is not POTUS?
Nah, there is a simple explanation: in diplomacy, most times the deals, negotiations, etc... are signed by what is considered an equivalent level of representation of the US. The lady signing for Ukraine is First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, which is part of Zelenky's government. Equivalent to Bessent in diplomatic terms, who signed for US.
Now, Ukraine did not "give the minerals to the US". The deal does however specifically excludes ANY RUZZIAN participation in the future reconstruction of Ukraine and particularly in their mineral resources. The treaty establishes a very generic framework in which business must be done in favour of both nations.
It is actually quite interesting for Ukraine to have US interests - at least there is some interest from US to keep it independent that way.
