Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for a meeting with President Trump, stressing the importance of Ukraine's concerns regarding a proposed U.S. deal for access to rare earth minerals. At a news conference, Zelensky expressed dissatisfaction with the terms of the proposed deal, which he believes unfairly shifts financial burdens to future generations of Ukrainians. He contested the notion that a resolution to end the conflict with Russia would be reached soon, pointing out the necessity of mutual guarantees and meetings with Ukrainian officials before any lasting peace can be achieved.
"I'm not signing something that will have to be repaid by generations and generations of Ukrainians."
"To end the war this week, it won't happen. It is not possible without guarantees for Ukraine... I do not know how this can be done without meeting with us."
