Zelenskiy advises Trump against compromising with Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged former President Donald Trump not to compromise with Russia during their meeting to sign a U.S.-Ukraine mineral industry deal. The agreement aims to enhance U.S. support for Ukraine but lacks explicit security guarantees. Zelenskiy described Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "killer" and expressed concerns over Trump's approach to Russia. Trump, seeking to improve ties with Moscow, emphasized the need to end the conflict and suggested that U.S. business involvement could serve as a security guarantee. The deal allows U.S. access to Ukraine's mineral resources, with Ukraine contributing half of the revenues to a joint reconstruction fund. However, the agreement does not detail how funds will be used or specify the assets involved, raising concerns in Kyiv.
