It will be so funny if those old Soviet reports of mineral resources, which are very old, are wrong and the US just wasted time thinking they'll get more resources than are there lmfao
Edit: :zelensky-bent-the-knee:
The media is being deliberately misleading here, the deal is actually about all extractable natural resources in Ukraine including future oil and gas projects, not just minerals or rare earths.
Zelenskkky really did sold out his country
Inside China Business did a video on how the mineral deposit claims are beyond dubious, but that's the extent of my knowledge
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

So what, now more arms again? The impasse seemed like it was moving Ukraine closer to its eventual capitulation
Probably a treaty with Ukraine getting divided up
The US was fighting against that the entire time, and I think Russia is still open to negotiation
I could be badly wrong, but I imagine if the Ukraine's resources are significant, China might discuss things with Russia behind the scenes and push for the offensive to continue. Both China and Russia need to start cutting at U.S. access to resources if they want an advantageous position in the next 10-20 years.
This depends on the extent of the actual resources and Russia's current military-industrial capacity, manpower, and morale, though; but keep in mind that, from the Russian perspective, Zelenskyy has just sold off Russian natural resources to the Americans. There's a lot of reason to not allow it.

This is one of those deals that will signal to Russia that peace without victory is off the table. Once the US has a reliance on resources in Ukraine it'll go to war to defend them, no different to the Article 5/NATO red lines given by Putin many times already.
Of course he can't decree what deals Ukraine signs under Zelensky, but as long as the war carries on the deal cannot materialise fully. As long as the deal cannot materialise, Russian troops can continue their slow march to Kiev and eventually topple the Zelensky regime.
slow march to Kiev and eventually topple the Zelensky regime.
They have been gaining like 0.4% of the land area per year as of late and are rapidly running out of weapons reserves used to sustain this growth. The war will go on but it's comical to suggest Russia will get to Kiev.
This is assuming Ukraine can sustain its current effort. With the US pulling funding and Ukraine's military suffering from high desertion as well as the growing unpopularity of the Kiev regime, that's far from being guaranteed.
is it basically super fun friendship fund of investment rights? seems like nothing from description, no exclusivity or payouts, just basic investment?
no more half measures walter
libs were still saying "whatever it takes" to this.
I have a feeling Ukraine is going to rejoin Russia eventually as that's the best thing for them at this point.
They sure make it that way.

Sounds more like extortion to me.
