The US did not approve Ukraine's amendments to the bilateral agreement on precious minerals, reported Radio NV political observer Yulia Zabelina.
“J.D. Vance's team did not like the amendments made by Ukraine to the agreement on precious minerals, which were recently submitted by US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant,“ she said.
Earlier on Friday, "European Truth" reported that the meeting between Zelensky and US Vice President J.D. Vance at the Munich Security Conference had been postponed.
The reason, as stated, was Ukraine's decision to revise the draft partnership memorandum. As a result, after the document was submitted, the American side requested time to work on it, the publication writes.
This week, Trump said that Ukraine must repay the United States for the money it spent on its support, which he estimated at $300-350 billion. According to him, the Kiev authorities will be able to do this by providing America with access to deposits of minerals and rare earth metals. According to the American president, Kiev has agreed to this.
