U.S.’ big revelation on Ukraine mineral deal, gives cryptic warning to Putin?

The United States has finalized a landmark minerals agreement with Ukraine, granting Washington preferential access to Ukraine’s critical mineral resources in exchange for financial and military support for post-war reconstruction. The deal, signed in Washington and championed by President Trump, is being hailed as a “diplomatic win” for Ukraine and a “historic economic partnership” by U.S. officials, though it notably lacks explicit security guarantees for Kyiv.
