According to the publication’s source, the current draft “does not reflect partnership and contains only unilateral obligations of Ukraine.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is not ready to agree to sign a mining agreement with the United States, as Ukraine sees “a number of problematic issues” in the draft agreement, Sky News reports , citing a source familiar with the negotiations.

“The agreement is not yet ready for signing, there are a number of problematic issues, and in the current form of the draft, the president is not ready to accept it,” the source told the publication.

According to him, the current projects “do not reflect the partnership in the agreement and contain only unilateral obligations of Ukraine.”

As the publication recalls, on Thursday, the Ukrainian president held talks with US envoy Keith Kellogg in Kyiv, later calling them a “good discussion.” Kellogg’s rhetoric, which called Zelensky a “courageous leader of a nation at war,” was noticeably different from Trump’s statements.

However, as Sky News reports, there are doubts about how much influence Mr Kellogg wields, with a Ukrainian source saying there was a feeling he was “being sidelined”.

    • It seems like zelensky has a plan, otherwise, why is he running circles around the fat orange clown?

      • Zelensky is a trained lawyer, Trump is not even potty trained. I think Zelensky is winding Trump up like a spring, hoping his mouth will get the worst of him. He’s already got some MAGA supporters against him. You know it’s getting bad for Trump when Ben Shapiro goes against Trump’s BS.

  1. “The American side considers the agreement to be purely commercial and places the discussion of security guarantees outside the scope of this agreement. Also, within the framework of the agreement, the United States does not undertake any investment obligations.

  2. I wouldn’t trust them under trumpty, I think ‘they’ would rob Ukraine blind, led on, allowed and encouraged by the ginger tosser.

    If Ukraine is as mineral etc. rich as the claims, the money should be spent on the armament industries within Ukraine.
