VIDEO: US-Ukraine Minerals Deal Cancelled As Zelenskyy Said No To US Aid Without 'Security Guarantees'

American aid is not Ukraine's debt, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who stated on Sunday that he is "not signing something that will be paid off by ten generations of Ukrainians." "We must not recognize grants as debts, whether someone likes it or not," Zelenskyy stated. His remarks were made the day before the war with Russia marks three years, while Zelenskyy and other officials were attending a symposium in Kyiv where talks on the country's situation are anticipated. With Trump's administration pressuring Ukrainian leaders to approve a deal that would give the United States access to Ukrainian rare earth minerals—a proposition Zelenskyy previously rejected—the event comes at a delicate time for Kyiv.
