Dubai: Ukrainian President Wolodmeer Zelannsky faced pressure to sign an agreement to the United States to hand over a priority access to Ukrainian minerals reserves.
Trump wants Ukraine to provide us with access to companies as a billions of dollars in aid provided by our predecessor, Biden.
But Ukraine is looking for security guarantees from the United States in exchange for signing a large amount of valuable rights of its natural resources and important minerals.
On Friday, Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz predicted that Zillsky will soon sign the deal.
Waltz told a conference on the outskirts of Washington on Friday, “Look, here’s the bottom line, President Zelannsky is going to sign the deal, and you will see that in a very short period of time, and it’s good for Ukraine “”
Trump’s top advisers have doubled his attacks on Zelonsky in recent times, when Trump called him a “dictator” and falsely claimed that Ukraine had begun a war with Russia.
The war of words has stunned Kiev and the European capitals, a sign of how fast Trump has been restoring Washington’s long -standing support for Ukraine when he talks with Moscow over the settlement of the conflict.
Since Russia invaded in February 2022, the United States has been Ukraine’s most important financial, military and political supporter, in which the West’s top powers condemned the invasion as an illegal and illegal war.
A senior Ukrainian official told AFP earlier Friday that despite the tensions between Zelinski and Trump, a possible deal “continues”.
“There is a permanent exchange of drafts, we sent another yesterday,” Kiev said. He added that Ukraine is now looking forward to the US response.
Kiev rejected Trump’s team’s first attempt to attack Ukraine’s natural resources, saying that the proposal did not include security guarantees for Kiev.
Ukraine is pressuring NATO as part of any widespread ceasefire agreement with Russia or deploying the public of Western troops and modern equipment.
Zillski said he would not “sell” Ukraine to Ukraine earlier this week in any deal with the United States.
The three -year anniversary of the Russian invasion on Sunday is a threat to damaging Western support for Kiev at a critical turning point in the conflict.
The Russian military said on Friday that it had occupied two more villages in eastern Ukraine.
Europe has also been shifted to respond, though in recent days, Zelinsky has reaffirmed his support for Ukraine with European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Finland and Denmark leader. Yes.
Macron will travel to Washington next week where he will tell Trump: “You can’t weaken with President Putin,” he said in a address on Thursday.
British Prime Minister Kerr Star will also visit Trump, as Paris and London try to martial Europe’s response to the first month of the Republic.
Zillski met with Trump’s envoy Keith Kellog this week, with details of meetings with Ukrainian officials in the opposite of his counterparts’ rhetoric in Washington.
In a social media post, Kellogg called Zilnski a “dynamic and brave leader of a nation in the war”.
Zillski said he had earlier briefed Kellog on the frontline situation and said “strong Ukraine-US relations benefit the whole world”.
But in Washington there was little sign that Trump’s team wanted to end the tension.
Tech tycoon and Trump supporter Elon Musk weighed on Thursday, saying that the Ukrainian residents had “despised” their president and the American leader has the right to leave them from Russia.
“Clearly, some of Kiev’s statements made from Kiev and President Trump’s humiliation was unacceptable,” Waltz said during a briefing at the White House. “
So far, in his most important criticism, Zlinski said earlier this week that Trump had fought Russian “unknown information” over the repetition of US President’s Debonic Kremlin talks about the conflict.
Ukraine’s presidency chief of staff, André Yarmak, said on Friday that he had spoken to Walts on the phone and emphasized the importance of “protection of bilateral cooperation and maintaining high -level relations”.
