Zelensky to meet Trump in Washington to sign minerals deal
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet US President Donald Trump in Washington on Friday to sign an agreement on sharing his country’s mineral resources.
Trump who disclosed this also seemingly ruled out the prospect of Ukraine becoming a NATO member – one of Zelensky’s long-held ambitions.
Zelensky has described the bilateral deal as preliminary, and said he wants further agreements which include US security guarantees to deter renewed Russian aggression.
The US president suggested a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia was not far off, but Zelensky said without security guarantees Ukraine “won’t have a ceasefire, nothing will work, nothing”.
