Putin offered Trump Ukraine’s minerals and rare earth elements. In an interview, Putin stated that American companies would be allowed to exploit Ukraine’s mineral wealth in areas under Russian military occupation.
This reinforces some theories suggesting that the U.S. and Russia have reached a kind of “secret pact” in which they will divide Ukraine’s resources after Trump offers Putin what he could not achieve on the battlefield by his own means.
This could also explain much of Trump’s recent behavior—accusing Ukraine of being the aggressor, calling Zelensky a dictator, and blocking a UN resolution demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.
