Good. Someone saying no to the US.
Well now he can ask China for how much they would give for 50%, art of the deal…….
Yes. Stick it to the man!

sooo, this is for the future mineral reserves outside of the ocupied regions right? Is that what this deal is? Give 50 percent of what you have and get nothing yourself?
Sounds like they didn’t offer him any promises of future assistance, just wanted him to give up 50% of future mineral resources.
“A delegation of the US Congress in Munich wanted President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy to sign a document that would give the US rights to 50% of Ukraine’s future mineral resources, but he refused.”
It’s the right decision. He definitely should push back.
He should offer full mineral rights for the occupied regions if America helps them reclaim it and that is it. Trump really thought he was gonna make Ukraine surrender and get all their resources.
Fuck you Trump. And Fuck you Russia.
I hope Europe will keep helping Ukraine, and not just for a promise of plunder.
And the douchebag is shaking them down. God, I hate this.
Why would he? Trump is doing everything he can to give Ukraine to Russia anyway. Trump is asking for a bribe for nothing. Kick Rocks Trump. Nobody believes you – and anyone who does work for you without getting paid first is a fool. Maybe show Zelensky that you mean business and get Russia to drop the dumb-ass war and go home before you hold your hand out for a payment.
They showed up with a surprise document, that hadn’t been negotiated and just asked the President of a country to sign it?
That’s incredibly amateurish by any standard. What clowns.
Seems like Trump is really taking advantage of Ukraine now. The aid under Biden was being given unconditionally. Trump isn’t an ally of Democracy.
Neither Trump or Putin keep promises. They might as well wipe their ass with this document.
Sign the deal, get what you need from the deal then refuse to pay up. ~The art of the deal.
If this is true it’s such a hamfisted blunder by the US delegation. 50% of all Ukrainian mineral resources just go to the US? No extraction rights talks no nothing, just straight up ‘50% of *your* minerals are *ours* now’? For what? So the US can continue to offload 20 year old surplus that would otherwise bake in the Mojave desert for eternity? Fucking extortion.
This *has* to be bad faith, even this administration isn’t inept enough not to realize this is ridiculous.
– **I** get 50% of all your mineral resources
– **You** get nothing
What a deal!
The US wants to “drill baby drill” and, I believe from what I’ve read, Ukraine would let them if they offered to “protect baby protect”. But this deal seems to be “take baby take” with nothing in return.
Americans have shown themselves to be untrustworthy. Why would anyone sign any agreement with the U.S.?
So Trump says the war can end but puts up demands. God damn Americans
American arrogance and stupidity is astounding.
Holy shit. Thats the most brain dead deal I’ve ever seen.
“Hey, give me half of your mineral resources for the rest of time”
“Umm, fuck off”
China everyday seems like a better world leader…USA not even competing anymore~
So, extortion…
It seems like Trump is one of the worst dealmakers the world ever heard of.
It’s a shakedown directed by Putin. Every single person who voted for Fascist47 after 2016, is a worthless individual as far as I’m concerned. No exceptions. No excuses. Putin owns you all.
Any deal brokered by the current US admin is NOT a deal anyone in their right mind should take.
Lol, who exactly do the US think they are? Those minerals are worth $15-20 trillion in total.
And it’s certainly rich coming from a leader who plans to halve the U.S. defense budget while still acting like they run the world.
Absolutely insane proposal, and from a treacherous, double-dealing false friend.
So now Trump’s dipshit techbro oligarchy scabs want Ukrainian resources while offering nothing in return.
Peak capitalism mixed with peak stupidity.
I’m glad zelensky told them to pound sand.
Zelenskyy deserves a break from all this cr*p. He is obviously twice the man and sees through it all but has to play the game to do the best for his country. His bravery is beyond the Orange man’s comprehension.
1. Give an impossible demand.
2. Get declined.
3. Tell everyone that they don’t want to negotiate.
Trump learned this from Putin.
Last time Ukraine signed away important shit, it was a bad idea.
None of this would be happening if they still had nukes.
