US President Donald Trump’s rhetoric regarding Ukrainian minerals is an attempt to create guarantees of compensation for Ukraine previously spent resources. It is said that the new American leader will try to present a “check” to Kiev and partially compensate for the costs that America has incurred over three years of a full -scale war.
Thus, the political scientist, director of the Ukrainian Institute of Policy Ruslan Bortnik, commented on Trump’s idea for the production of rare earth metals from our subsoil.
Bortnik believes that this is a political game. Including against the Democrats, against which Trump wants to look more systematic and pragmatic policies.
“However, this game has significant difficulties. The first is two -thirds of all minerals today are passionate about Russia. The rest of the same or economically impractical to develop, or a problem is that Only about gradesin of these useful digs. INAny infrastructure for their development, for logistics, that is, you need to invest Significant funds. The history of rare earth metals is generally very vague. Trump meant all minerals that could be useful in the US. TOhm that directly rare metals in Ukraine is not so much, in comparison with LatinOh AmericaAnyone or Africa where all this is being developed, ”the political scientist says.
Bortnik is convinced that the proposal from the Ukrainian President is voiced in the context of hope that it will be possible to open the road to cooperation between Kiev and the new US administration.
“Moreover, if the US will invest in these mineralsinthen they will provide them with protection, which will become real, not virtual security guarantees. Therefore in Ukraine this statement of Trump perceivedof course “on Hooray”victoriousat, As a very big positive signal. XOcha seems to me that it Everything is prematurewhat is it going still About rhetoric.
Development of any useful Digany significant investment… Until the end of the war was impossibleandfor logistics paths, energy paths – Everyone they are threatened with blows and any significant investment in mining equipment or enrichment facilities can be destroyed. So it’s unrealistic. This is possible only after the war, obviously, as a result of the agreement between key players. At the same time useful Make Ukraine can really become a bonus, “Prize fund” struggle for Ukraine, and dialogue with regard to their operation can really be found between the parties in the negotiation process», – summarized Ruslan Bortnik.
