Zelensky demands security guarantees before signing minerals deal
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated he is ready to sign a minerals agreement with Donald Trump, but he demands security guarantees first. He emphasized the need for a ceasefire and lasting protection from further Russian attacks. Zelensky's comments come after a tense meeting with Trump, where the U.S. president criticized him for not showing enough gratitude for military aid. The meeting ended without a deal, and Zelensky faced calls from U.S. officials to apologize for his behavior. Upon arriving in the UK, Zelensky expressed gratitude for U.S. support and highlighted the importance of Trump's backing. He is set to attend a summit with European leaders to discuss further support for Ukraine.
