On January 16, 2025, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Kyiv and signed a "100-year partnership agreement" with Ukraine, focused on support across sectors like healthcare, military technology, and security guarantees, as reported by Al Jazeera. This agreement, while significant, does not explicitly mention mineral rights in the available public details.

Later, on March 1, 2025, Zelensky visited London and signed a £2.26 billion loan agreement with the UK, repayable using profits from frozen Russian assets, intended for military supplies, according to the BBC. Again, this deal does not explicitly reference mineral rights.

How cheeky of them.

Yeah, I think it's long past the time for the "special relationship" to end.

That's for sure. Only Trump knows how to end it so the Us is benefited. That is his main concern.

Re Special relationship:

I agree.

“I love that word ‘relationship’. Covers all manner of sins, doesn’t it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship. A relationship based on the [Prime Minister] ...taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to... [US].... And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward, I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the [world] should be prepared for that.” ~Love Actually, with my changes
