Direct language of the State Secretary: “We had a conversation with President Zelensky … We discussed this issue of the rights to minerals and explained to them:” Listen, we want to be with you in a joint venture – not because we try to steal in your country, so that we consider it a guarantee of security. ”
Details: According to him, Zelensky expressed his desire to conclude this agreement, but added that it “should be carried out through the legislative process”.
“Two days later I read that Zelensky stated: I rejected the agreement, I told them that for nothing we would do it. But at that meeting everything was wrong. So you start to be upset because someone says “, – said Rubio.
He noted that he would like to see “some level of gratitude” for the care of the US, not Trump’s accusation that he “lives in the world of misinformation.”
Rubio called Zelensky’s comments “very counter -productive.”
He is also convinced that Trump is ready to work on the achievement of peace, “because he is indifferent to the fate of Ukraine.”
“And he hopes that Zelensky will be a partner in this matter, not someone who makes the message in response, trying to blame our brains. It will not be productive,” Rubio summarized.
Prehistory:
- According to the media, the Donald Trump administration first suggested that the United States be given 50% of the country’s ownership of the country, but President Volodymyr Zelenskyy refused to sign the document.
- This in recent days has led to sharp statements from Trump, which in particular called Zelensky a “dictator without elections.”
- At the same time, it became known that the United States has handed over a new version of the mineral development agreement to Ukraine, which takes into account some Kyiv’s remarks and has a more chance of making.
