Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy pored over a once-classified map of vast deposits of rare earths and other critical minerals during an interview with Reuters on Friday, part of a push to appeal to Donald Trump's penchant for a deal.

"We need to stop Putin and protect what we have - a very rich Dnipro region, central Ukraine," he said.

"The Americans helped the most, and therefore the Americans should earn the most. And they should have this priority, and they will. I would also like to talk about this with President Trump."

In addition, Zelenskiy said Kyiv and the White House were discussing the idea of using Ukraine's vast underground gas storage sites to store U.S. liquefied natural gas.
"I know that the Trump administration is very interested in it ... We're ready and willing to have contracts for LNG supplies to Ukraine. And of course, we will be a hub for the whole of Europe," he said.

translation: Lets make a deal since you cut off my money supply we have to end this bogus war
Mr. president, just walk away from it.
Is the deal he’s offering for Zelensky or Ukraine? I would imagine Big Z is not that popular among the voters.
Z: “Let’s do a deal that let’s me escape with my life for one million Ukraine men dead.”
Any deal will be designed to compensate for the money we’ve wasted on this war already and will only involve areas that Ukraine still controls.
LNG heats up and becomes vapor. Large volumes of underground storage will require refrigeration beyond imagining.
There’s nothing there.
Trump ia too smart to fall for Zelenskiy’s bogus deal!
Let’s negotiate an end to this war very soon!
Better plan: Zelenskyy negotiates an end of the war with Putin, and then starts paying back the USA with royalties on the sale of Ukraine’s mineral deposits.
Like you, Zelensky has no credibility.
Mr. Z still hasn’t come clean with his involvement in Trump fake impeachment. Or has he? Behind closed doors?
Trump said at the Japanese minister meeting Q&A that this is a way for Ukraine to pay back the US for the support we gave Ukraine.
“Z”s rare earth minerals are not the important ones. Fold up your map “Z”...and toss in circular file.
I trust Trump. Putin and Iran are getting a bit nervous.
If an election were held today in Ukraine, Zelensky would lose—bigly.
Your #13 is correct. That’s exactly how Trump framed the statement.
There is a deal to be done.
Unfortunately for Mr. Z his severed head on the table will be part of the negotiation.
Lol.
“ Your #13 is correct. That’s exactly how Trump framed the statement.”
Yes, I listened to it. That’s why I said it here.
It’s a good idea.
He also indicated a re-build similar to what he plans for Gaza.
