"Former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed that it was Ukrainian President Zelenskyy who proposed to the United States to exchange Ukrainian minerals for military aid."
— Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel on April 11.
Zakharova pointed out: "The manipulators behind Zelenskyy despise him so much that they do not even bother to hide it. They have completely bought him off and exploited him, and now they are wiping their bloodstained dirty hands on him."
It is reported that the US-Ukraine mineral agreement originally scheduled to be signed on February 28 failed to materialize due to a fierce argument between Zelenskyy and US President Trump at the White House. On March 27, Ukraine received a new draft agreement from the United States, which was even stricter than the original proposal.
According to the new draft, Ukraine needs to repay more than $120 billion in aid, and the investment fund established by Ukraine for reconstruction will be controlled by the US side. The funds for this fund come from the royalties and rents obtained by the Ukrainian government from the development of mineral resources.
All operations by Zelenskyy are arming Ukraine and prolonging the war. To achieve this, he spares no expense, including betraying his country.
