US President Donald Trump made a $ 500 billion deal to the war -torn Ukraine to control half of the European country’s natural resources, including reaching its rare ground minerals, oil, gas, ports and infrastructure, according to the draft agreement in the British newspaper The Telegraph.
The report added that if Ukraine accepts the demands of the United States, on February 7, this will be a higher share of Ukrainian GDP from the first compensation in the World War in Germany. Washington’s conditions are more severe than the sanctions imposed on Germany and Japan after its defeat in World War II in 1945.
However, it is unlikely that Ukraine will accept the offer of the United States, as its president, Folodimir Zelinski, said last week that he told his ministers not to sign a deal that allows us to access rare land minerals in Ukraine since the proposal focused on the US interests exclusively, reported Associated Agency Press.
This is what the United States provided
The eyes of the United States on “lands are very valuable in terms of rare land, in terms of oil and gas,” as Trump Fox News earlier told an interview.
As part of the $ 500 billion recovery deal, the United States will receive 50 percent of the profits of extracting natural resources and obtaining 50 percent of the value of the new licenses if Ukraine issues new licenses to third parties.
The agreement, which will be subject to the law, will also allow the United States to also have sovereign immunity to purchase minerals exported in Ukraine. The American Fund will obtain a preferential right to determine the conditions for future investment projects, according to the Telgry.
According to the document, the United States and Ukraine will create a joint investment fund to ensure that the anti -war parties are not used from reconstruction projects in Ukraine.
Trump’s warning
The US President warned that Ukraine would be delivered to Russian President Vladimir Putin “on the plate” if Kiev rejected the deal. “They may cross a deal,” he added.
“I did not let the ministers sign a relevant agreement because, in my view, it is not ready to protect us, our interest,” Zellinski told Associated Press in Munich on February 15.
In September of last year, Zelinski suggested giving the United States a direct share in the critical minerals in Ukraine when Trump met at Trump Tower in an attempt to ensure the smooth delivery of US weapons supplies.
American companies called for investing in Ukraine, and creating a position that would prevent Putin from launching other attacks on the neighboring country.
