In a bombshell revelation that shouldn't surprise anyone paying attention to the Ukraine conflict, we now have evidence that President Zelenskyy has been misleading the United States about his dealings with our European allies. This deception runs deep, and President Trump is having none of it.
Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer dropped this truth bomb during a recent Newsmax interview, revealing that a "battle of dueling narratives" exists between the White House and Ukraine over a minerals deal.
During the interview, Shaffer revealed that mere days before Trump’s inauguration, “the British signed an agreement with Ukraine to have exclusive rights to those [mineral rights] deals.”
“You can go check it out,” he said. “This is on the British UK website. It talks about this 100-year Ukraine and the U.K. signed a 100-year deal over security guarantees and economic development.”

Indeed, the UK-Ukraine 100-Year Partnership Declaration strengthens security ties and mineral cooperation between the two nations. It includes deepened defense collaboration, joint weapons production, and expanded military capabilities. The UK is also positioned as a key partner in Ukraine’s energy and critical minerals sectors, supporting green steel production and resource development. This partnership aims to enhance Ukraine’s security, economic stability, and defense innovation for the next century.
The timing couldn't be more suspicious. Three days before President Trump took office, the British quietly secured an agreement with Ukraine that included rights to valuable resources that Trump was asking for.

Rut-Roh!
And Starmer was complicit in that during his time spent here with President Trump, nothing was said about such a deal already inked. “Exclusive” my *ss...
I'd say the "special relationship" is over. It's a bit too one sided.
Hard to imagine a better way to piss off Trump. Back stab him in a business deal, lie to his face, and try to extort money under false pretenses. That’s no way to make a deal.
I think the UK wants a “special relationship” with Ukraine and has decided to toss aside the longstanding “special relationship” with the United States. Probably not their best decision.
Here is the actual text from the UK Ukraine agreement regarding minerals
“Deepening cooperation in the energy sector will include:
...
(iv) supporting development of a Ukrainian critical minerals strategy and necessary regulatory structures required to support the maximisation of benefits from Ukraine’s natural resources, through the possible establishment of a Joint Working Group; “
If we can’t rely on our Allie’s, we might as well pull out of NATO.
LOL! Stealin’
If true, I would say we have reason to be a lot more PO’d at Great Britian than at Zelensky.
Cut off the money supply. Let the UK take care of it.
And the blue/yellows will still be out there trumpeting.
UK is runned by musscums and the white guy is their puppet!
The sooner the better.
Let’s see how the Zeepers try to tell us this little, inconvenient, fact isn’t what it says.
It’s time we re-thought UK as our closest ally.
The minerals deal was to link Ukraine and its future production of rare-earth minerals to the US. That gives some leverage to Ukraine vis-a-vis Russia, because, the US would protect its future stream of rare-earth mineral production from Ukraine. Zelensky blows that up and if this information is true, he is aligning/has aligned his country with the backing of the UK. Good luck with that, they do not cut so much ice with Russia.
