Volodymyr Zelensky launches a signal that could change the fate of the war in Ukraine. After always saying “no” to the hypothesis, the number one of Kiev three years after the start of the Russian invasion said he was ready to “Direct negotiations” with Vladimir Putin. “If this is the only option to bring peace to Ukrainian citizens and not to lose lives, we will surely opt for this choice”, his words in an interview posted on YouTube by the British journalist Piers Morgan.
Zelensky added stressing that he would accept one “Meeting with four participants”without specifying which ones. The hypothesis, beyond Russia, would include the USA and the European Union. A significant turning point, considering that the Ukrainian president in 2022 came to prohibit any negotiation with Russia with a decree until Putin had remained in power. To impose an accelerator, the arrival of Donald Trump At the White House: the tycoon in recent days spoke of an ongoing dialogue with Moscow and urged Kiev to make steps forward. Zelensky’s response has not been long in coming.
Zelensky explained that Kiev is ready to receive “investments of American companies” for extract rare lands from its territorywhich is rich, after Trump had clearly placed as a condition to obtain these strategic minerals for modern industrial technology in exchange for the supplies of American weapons, highlights the ANSA. “I would like American companies to develop this sector here,” he added at the press conference. Trump’s proposal has not gone unnoticed by the parts of the Kremlin: for the spokesperson Dmitry Peskov the words of Trump are a “suggestion that Ukraine buy assistance, that is, that there is no more free assistance but that is provided on a commercial basis “.
Entering in the detail of the dossier, the rare lands are 17 chemical elements – the Scodio, the iTrium and the Lananoid group – used in many technological appliances such as superconductors, magnets, catalysts, components of hybrid vehicles, laser and optical fibers. More than a third of the estimated world reserves are found in China, but Russia and Ukraine also boast substantial deposits. We remind you that in the “Plan for Victory” launched by Zelensky a “special agreement” with the western partners that allowed “the common exploitation of strategic resources” of Ukraine had been proposed last year. No reference to rare lands, but there had been examples on other fundamental materials for industrial activities, such as uranium, titanium and lithium. The German Chancellor also intervened on this point Olaf Scholz: “We should take advantage of these national resources to finance everything you need after the war. It would be very selfish and self -referential to use these funds just to support the defense “.
The opening of Zelensky in Putin could favor negotiations for the ceasefire, but much will depend on the requests of Moscow and from concessions of Kiev, starting from the born dossier, the real nightmare for Putin. The climate is hot and the Ukrainian president has no intention of getting aside, as underlined in recent days. It would be “very dangerous” to continue the talks without the involvement of Kiev, he had warned: “USA and Russia can have their relationships, but talking about Ukraine without us is dangerous for everyone”. “I believe that first of all we have to keep a meeting” with Trump, added Zelensky: “I would like to see the United States, Ukraine and the Russians at the negotiation table. And to be honest there should also be an EU voice: I think it would be right, effective “.
The ball passes to Moscow. In recent months Putin has claimed to be ready to negotiate, trying to transform the negotiation into a bilargental bargaining with Trump. A further signal has arrived in the interview with the Tsar on the Russian state television: Putin has stated that the American president will quickly restore the order between the European elites, who will end up aligning themselves without resistance. “Trump, with his character and determination, will report the order very quickly. Soon everyone will bow and follow him without hesitation “what was reported by the reporter Pavel Zarubin.
