Peskov called Trump’s proposal to exchange military aid for Ukraine’s rare-earth metals an “aid purchase”. According to him, it would be better not to provide aid at all to end the conflict.
Writes UNN with reference to the BBC.
To call things by their proper names, it is an offer to buy aid. That is, not to continue to provide it on a grant basis, but precisely to provide it on a commercial basis
He added that “it is certainly better not to provide aid at all and thus contribute to the end of this conflict.
Recall
US President Donald Trump has said that he is willing to conclude an agreement with Ukraine to exchange military aid for rare earth resources. He also noted “significant progress” in a peace settlement, without providing details.
