Zelensky rejects mineral deal

I did not allow ministers to sign the agreement because it is not clear. In my opinion, it does not protect us, says Zelenskyj on site in Munich.

He adds that he thinks the agreement should be "linked to security guarantees" and that "I do not see this link in the document yet. It should be clear, it is important".

The American President Donald Trump, who has long been critical of the US's large military support to Ukraine, has previously said he wants to gain access to Ukrainian minerals and gas in exchange for American security guarantees to Kyiv.
