Summary

Ukraine and the U.S. are negotiating a revised deal over Ukraine’s mineral and energy revenues after President Zelenskyy rejected an initial U.S. proposal to give 50% of proceeds to the U.S.

The Trump administration, which presented the deal abruptly, has criticized Zelenskyy’s refusal, with Trump calling him a “dictator.”

Talks resumed with U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg, but security guarantees remain a sticking point.

The controversy has strained U.S.-Ukraine relations as Zelenskyy insists on protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty and economic independence.
