The mineral deal is dead. #Ukraine will not sign it. In case this is what #MAGA really wants, this would be a good excuse to stop any aid.
The deal in the current version would
- lay a debt of 120 billion dollars on Ukraine
- give the US sweeping control over all of Ukraine’s major minerals and energy assets
- would allow US authorities to inspect the files of every government and even private entity
