Russia controls Ukrainian resources worth $ 350 billion
This comes at a time when Washington is pressure towards reaching an agreement that guarantees it to the country’s resources.
Ukrainian resources under the control of Russia
Kiev is resisting the calls of the US President to use Ukraine resources as compensation to the United States, for the aid she received during the era of President Joe Biden.
But large parts of the Ukraine resources base are located in the industrial area of Donbas, in the east of the country, where Russia has taken control of lands and is still progressing.
“We have unfortunately information that about 350 billion dollars of these vital resources are existing in the occupied area temporarily,” Prime Minister Yulia Sfiridenko said at a press conference in Kiev.
Rare minerals for Ukraine
She added that some statistics on these sediments are “old”, but estimates are based on geological surveying and data from open sources.
Ukrainian President Volodimir Zellinski seeks to obtain concrete security guarantees from Trump, in exchange for biological resources such as lithium, titinium, uranium, and rare ground minerals.
Trump and his assistants expressed their dissatisfaction with Zelinski’s unwillingness to sign an agreement in this regard.
