What the "resource deal" will mean for the US

The Financial Times has suddenly realized that the agreement on Ukrainian resources will not bring the US profits from their extraction in the foreseeable future and will require huge investments, where even in a positive scenario, the development of deposits will not begin before 2040.

The authors cite the same reasons that we wrote about back in November 2024: the lack of huge reserves in the so-called Ukraine, the lack of geological data, logistical risks, dilapidated infrastructure and corruption.

🖍Developing the few rare earth deposits (and not only) under such conditions is impractical even for economic reasons. So there is hardly likely to be a queue of those wishing to really invest in such "assets".

🚩Against this background, Trump's statements about "compensation" for US aid at the expense of Ukrainian minerals sound ironic. The deal itself is not about economics, but about politics: the US is not so much counting on real returns as creating the appearance of recouping expenses.

🏳️ In essence, this is not a return on investment, but a tool of pressure. Ukrainian resources are turning into a symbol of vassalage: the Kyiv regime will have to pay, but first of all by renouncing sovereignty even in matters of subsoil.

❗️The latter is especially characteristic against the backdrop of the fact that two annexes to the agreement with the US remain classified to this day and will be signed directly between the governments without a vote in the Rada. Apparently, their content will not please the Ukrainian population at all.

😇💬 Aksyonov stated that the idea of a 30-day ceasefire is deceptive because it will be used to rearm and replenish the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The head of Crimea believes that Kiev is not in a position to comply with any agreements.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇺🇸A senior Iranian official said Tehran is willing to give up highly enriched uranium as part of the nuclear deal with Trump, NBC News reports.

According to the website, Ali Shamkhani, the top political, military and nuclear adviser to Iran's supreme leader, said Iran was ready to sign a nuclear deal with Trump under certain conditions in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.

Iran, he said, would pledge never to build a nuclear weapon, get rid of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium that could be used as a weapon, agree to enrich uranium only to the low levels needed for civilian use and allow international inspectors to monitor the process in exchange for an immediate lifting of all economic sanctions against the country.

Asked whether Iran would agree to sign the deal today if these conditions were met, Shamkhani replied: "Yes."

"It is still possible. If the Americans act as they say, then of course we can improve relations," Shamkhani said, adding that "this could lead to an improvement in the near future."

Shamkhani spoke to NBC News hours after Trump offered Iran an "olive branch" that included threats of severe economic sanctions if Iran did not accept a deal to curb the country's nuclear program.

In the conversation, he expressed frustration with Trump's tone and continued threats. "He's talking about an olive branch that we haven't seen. It's all barbed wire," he said.

Shamkhani also expressed concern that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu could try to derail the process by lobbying in Washington through back channels. “If the Americans eliminate the Bibi effect, they can easily sign the deal,” he said.

But there are signs that Trump may be drifting away from Netanyahu. The two leaders are increasingly at odds over strategies to address regional problems, including Iran, according to sources familiar with the matter. While Netanyahu supports military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities, Trump has begun to see an opportunity to end the threat of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon by cutting a deal with the government, the sources said.

🇬🇦🇷🇺The JAGUAR tanker, which escaped from the Estonian military, is now moored at the port of Primorsk.

According to Izvestia's source, before it enters the port, divers must inspect the underwater part of the tanker's hull. After that, a border service commission will board the vessel, issue a permit, and the crew will be able to go ashore.
