Summary

Ukraine and the U.S. are negotiating a revised deal over Ukraine’s mineral and energy revenues after President Zelenskyy rejected an initial U.S. proposal to give 50% of proceeds to the U.S.

The Trump administration, which presented the deal abruptly, has criticized Zelenskyy’s refusal, with Trump calling him a “dictator.”

Talks resumed with U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg, but security guarantees remain a sticking point.

The controversy has strained U.S.-Ukraine relations as Zelenskyy insists on protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty and economic independence.

    Tell that to his ill advised Drill Baby Drill chant. I’m not convinced real life impacts his decisions.

      That’s drill American oil. But, his decision making process at least during his first term often came down to who made the last halfway decent argument lol.
