US President Donald Trump offered an agreement worth $ 500 billion to the war destroyed by Ukraine to take control of half of the natural resources of the European country, including access to its minerals of rare countries, oil and gas and ports and infrastructure, according to a contract that saw British newspaper The Telegraph.
The report added that if Ukraine accepts the US requirements dated February 7, it would be a higher share of Ukrainian GDP than the first reparation in the First World War. The conditions of Washington are even harder than the sanctions imposed on Germany and Japan after their defeat in World War II in 1945.
However, it is very unlikely that Ukraine will accept the US offer because its President Volodymyr Zelenkyy said last week that he told his ministers not to sign an agreement that only provides us with access to Ukrainian minerals of rare soils because the proposal focused too much on American interests. Associated Press reported.
Here's what the US has offered
American eyes are on “extremely valuable country in terms of rare countries in terms of oil and gas”, as Trump told Fox News earlier in an interview.
Within an agreement on a $ 500 billion return agreement, the US would receive 50 percent of profits from natural sources extraction and gain 50 % of the value of new licenses if Ukraine issues new licenses to third parties.
The agreement that will follow the law will also allow the US to have sovereign immunity when buying exported minerals in Ukraine. The US Fund will receive preferential right to determine the conditions of future investment projects, according to Telegraph.
According to the document, the US and Ukraine will set up a joint investment fund, which ensures that the hostile part of the war does not use projects of reconstruction in Ukraine.
Trump's warning
The US President warned that Ukraine would be handed over to Russian President Vladimir Putin “on a plate if he refused Kyiv. “They can make an agreement. It does not need to be concluded an agreement. They can be Russian once, or one day may not be Russian. But I want this money back, ”he added.
“I did not allow ministers to sign a relevant agreement, because in my opinion it is not ready to protect us, our interest,” said Zelenkyy Associated Press in Munich 15 February.
In September last year, Zeletskyy suggested the US to provide a direct share in the critical minerals of Ukraine when he met Trump at Trump Tower in an effort to ensure smooth supplies in the US.
He invited American companies to invest in Ukraine and create a situation that would include Putin to start further attacks on a neighboring country.
