Trump clears US$50m in arms sales to Ukraine for first time since re-election, says Kyiv Post
If I read the mineral deal right, and I could easily be wrong, it sounds like the less military aid Ukraine gets from the US, the less the deal costs Ukraine. So I suspect they're going to lean on EU deals as much as possible.
And while a peace deal might stop open warfare, I expect Kyiv will have a strong motivation to over arm themselves, probably with the assistance and collaboration with Poland, until Putin is dead. After that will depend on his successor.
Like 70% of Ukraines rare earth minerals are on land occupied by Russia. If the US wants those, it needs to get Russia out of Ukraine entirely. Also, it’ll take probably 1-2 decades before any operation to extract the minerals is underway. Future presidents who aren’t major pieces of shit can rip up the deal.
You mean adjust it, nobody's tossing that kinda shit out
