Apparently, Russia has the 2nd largest deposit of rare earth minerals, behind only China.
Putin' is also offering rare earth minerals from new Russian territories (Ukraine).
Trump will probably drop Zelensky in a flash.
Thedre is nt many rare earth minrerals as you give it out to be - Ukraine ahs a reserve of 11% of the rare minerals in he world and according to a scientific evaluation some is not mineable or would cos t a fortunne to mine.
Some of he are minerals are in he area at present ccupied by the Rusian army,. In an event the Ukraine Govement does not have he expertise and financial ability to mine the rare minerals - hence he offer of Trump to get US Government to igegt them to mine the minerals and that part of the income from the mines be invested in rebuildiing of Ukraine -but it seems Zelenskyy wanted all profits fo himself and his cronies.
But theen the Uraine War is feeding courruption in both Washing on and Kiev and Trump is not a fol - he ants peace as part of he stopping of Washingtonm coruption that became the norm under Obama and Biden and in hiis first Presdency he ran it a brick wall when trying to get something honest done in Wshington for a change.
