Kyiv set to approve draft text; Zelenskyy may meet Trump tomorrow
-
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday the success of Ukraine’s minerals deal with Washington hinged on his looming talks with President Donald Trump, as the text of the agreement showed the Americans had offered no firm security guarantees.
The deal is at the heart of Kyiv’s push to win over Trump’s support — including security guarantees — as the US president strives to clinch a rapid end to the war with Russia that Kyiv fears could land a hammer blow to its national interests.
The Ukrainian government was poised to approve the text of the agreement later on Wednesday, so that it could be signed by both sides, the prime minister said, with Zelenskyy potentially visiting Washington this Friday for talks with the US leader.
