LIVE | Zelensky: US Troop Deployment in Ukraine Logical if Minerals Deal Works as Security Guarantees | N18G

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday (February 23) that a U.S. troop deployment in Ukraine was logical if a minerals deal between the countries was treated as security guarantees. But a minerals deal could not work if it asked Ukraine to return the value of aid already given by Washington.
U.S. President Donald Trump has said Ukraine should give the U.S. $500 billion in critical raw materials as payback for aid which Kyiv has already received from the previous Joe Biden administration. Zelensky declined to sign a detailed U.S. proposal last week that would have seen Washington receiving 50% of Ukraine's critical minerals, which include graphite, uranium, titanium and lithium, the latter a key component in electric car batteries. He has said he wants to do a deal, but that it should offer security guarantees for Ukraine in return. Zelensky also said that about $15 billion of previously pledged U.S. military aid was yet to be delivered.

Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday they expected that an agreement would be signed this week on U.S. access to Ukraine's critical mineral deposits.
