Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has found himself in a critical situation. The Ukrainian leader is cornered over the minerals deal with the US, writes the French publication Le Monde.
The article says that Zelensky is faced with a difficult choice - he must either sign the agreement, which would be a betrayal of the country's interests, or abandon the agreement, but such a development could anger US President Donald Trump.
“There is a great risk that Zelensky will incur the wrath of the owner of the White House Donald Trump with all the ensuing consequences for Ukraine“, the article says.
It is noted that now Zelensky, finding himself in a disadvantageous position, is trying to appear brave.
Earlier it became known that Ukraine had received a draft of a new resource agreement from the US, which “violates all of Kiev's red lines“.
