Zelenskiy calls for revisions to U.S. critical minerals proposal over security concerns

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy criticized a U.S. proposal for a critical minerals deal, stating it lacked security guarantees. He expressed concerns about Ukraine becoming a raw materials hub and indicated that the proposal needs further work. Kyiv recently submitted a revised draft to Washington, aiming to attract U.S. investment in its mineral resources. Zelenskiy emphasized the need for mutual benefits in any agreement. The minerals involved include rare earth elements, titanium, uranium, and lithium. Zelenskiy remains open to U.S. investment but insists on receiving something in return.
