Ukraine and the United States have signed a minerals agreement.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized that all of this became possible thanks to Trump’s initiatives.
Well, of course - how could it be otherwise?

Sharing natural resources was already part of Zelinsky's victory plan, I think.
He knew how to bait that big oaf Trump, and despite the power and brutality of the USA, he negotiated very shrewdly to get the best possible deal.
Bravo, Mr. Zelinsky.👏
However, this could give Trump something to boast about and that makes it easier for sensible people in US gov (there are still some) to make the case for ongoing intelligence support and weapons sales.
I'm prepared to be disapopointed
Additionally, if the US can be bought with a minerals deal, then Russia can do that too.

An archetypical “Unequal Treaty”.
It is much like "do not reward russian aggression by giving them positive results/conquest completed".
We should also never give in and deliver things to mafia exploitation executed by MAGA regime. It simply justifies the methods being used.
for Ukraine's defence,
for tRump's interests.
It just says: 'Look, we can put pen to paper together'
(which was probably the fallback instruction from tRump)
