lol you don't go in with one administration, say "ok here's the deal, free stuff for you with no need to give anything back" then with the next say "ok you owe us stuff for what was given to you by essentially other people".
Dems and their voters gave your money away. Get it from them. Ukrainian people don't owe you shit.
"Ukraine is often recognized for its vast agricultural lands and industrial heritage, but beneath its surface lies one of the world’s most remarkable geological formations, the “Ukrainian Shield”.
This massive, exposed crystalline rock formed over 2.5 billion years ago, stretches across much of Ukraine. It represents one of Earth’s oldest and most stable continental blocks.
The formation has undergone multiple episodes of mountain building, the formation and movement of magma and other change throughout time.
These geological processes created favorable geological conditions for forming several mineral deposits including lithium, graphite, manganese, titanium and rare earth elements."
Listen, mineral rights are like owning stocks or owning gold in fort knox. It doesn't actually need to exist, it just needs to be something that everyone agrees has value.
This situation is somewhat akin to the mineral situation in the mountains in Northern Afghanistan.
Knowing that they're there is NOT the same as being able to dig them up.
The situation has been volatile and such that, the people with the money needed to invest in mining the those resources have not been in a any position to access those resources.
That's what treaties are for. They establish the conditions necessary for business and investment to move forward.
no the war is about them wanting to implement a new system and them snubbing russia to be seated at the same table with them. that's the whole reason for the so called war. havent you heard how putin has decried that the west doesnt treat them like equals? well, thats the reason. the only reason as both sides doesnt give a shit abut their citizens well being. otherwise minsk 1 and 2 would have been respected.
like i said the mineral story is a red herring, otherwise the jew in power in that nation would have exploiting these resources to enrich himself and his cronies more. think about it

If you don't get that one, think why it would help keep the peace and how obtaining minerals would occur.

Why not be upset that the little man wants donbas and even crimea back, after russia annexed crimea back in 2014?
Thats like losing a wrestling match then trying to claim last years' belt.
If negotiations falls apart; Russia has shown intent and ability to turn Kiev into rubble.
