Draft US-Ukraine rare earth minerals deal not one President Zelensky would accept, source says

Draft US-Ukraine rare earth minerals deal not one President Zelensky would accept, source says

A draft deal between the United States and Ukraine over rare earth minerals and other natural resources is “not the one President Zelensky would accept,” according to a source familiar with the negotiations.

The US is trying to gain access to Ukraine’s critical minerals and other resources as part of wider negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. In return, Ukraine has been pushing for security guarantees, with Kyiv not only keen to see the return of lost territory but protection against a possible future Russian invasion.

Ukraine was not invited to talks between the US and Russia in Saudi Arabia and this week Zelensky and US President Donald Trump have been locked in an escalating war of words.

Trump falsely accused Zelensky of starting the Ukraine war while the Ukrainian leader hit back, saying the US president live in a “disinformation space.”

Ukrainians are still trying to negotiate amendments because the current draft “does not foresee any American obligations while Ukraine is expected to provide everything,” the source said.

The source spoke after an official in the Ukrainian Presidential Administration told Ukrainian state broadcaster Suspline that there would be no signing of the agreement on rare earth metals Saturday.

Work had continued on the document “all night” but was held up by the issue of “security guarantees,” Suspline reported.

The continued Ukrainian resistance to signing the deal in its current form comes after days of intense pressure from the Trump administration, whose National Security Advisor Mike Waltz even highlighted the case of an aluminium mine that could meet all the US’s annual needs if refurbished with American investment.

Also on Saturday Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, posted that he had spoken with US Sectetary of State Marco Rubio “to continue the results-oriented Ukraine-US dialogue.

“Ahead of the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale aggression, I underscored Ukraine’s strong will to achieve a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace—one that will strengthen Ukraine and the US.”

The US official said Kellogg’s visit had led to “very good meetings sealing this for the President of the United States.”
