US President Donald Trump has again criticized Ukraine, expressing dissatisfaction with the terms of cooperation on rare earth minerals. He stated that this agreement had been concluded, but now Kyiv is making new demands, including membership in NATO.
We made a deal on rare earth elements. It was done. And I heard through you [the press]. I haven't spoken to them yet, but through you I heard that they are now saying: "Well, I will go for this deal only if we join NATO or something like that. Well, that was never, firstly, not discussed. Secondly, I think it will be a very... long time before putin
Thus, according to the American president, the issue of the Alliance was not on the table during the discussions, and the current position of the Ukrainian side surprises him. In addition, he repeated the thesis often used in Russian propaganda, suggesting that the topic of Ukraine's accession to NATO could be the cause of the war.
This is probably the reason why the war started
It is worth noting that the war began after the full-scale invasion of terrorist Russia into Ukraine in 2022, and Kyiv's desire for Euro-Atlantic integration lasted long before these events.
