Republican Graham told an American television channel one of the points of Zelensky’s Victory Plan, which concerns Ukraine’s mineral resources.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said President-elect Donald Trump wants to reach an agreement with Ukraine that would allow the United States to enrich itself with rare Ukrainian minerals. He said this in a commentary on CBS News.
Graham noted that Ukraine is the richest country in Europe in rare minerals, which, according to his estimates, are worth $2-7 trillion to the country. This is why the United States should help Ukraine win the war with the Russian Federation.
“Ukraine is ready to enter into an agreement with us, not with Russia, so it is in our interests to make sure that Russia does not establish itself there,” the congressman explained.
According to him, “the war in Ukraine is being fought for money,” although no one wants to talk about it.
“Ukraine has trillions of dollars worth of natural resources and precious metals For example: uranium, titanium, lithium, graphite and other strategic resources that will strengthen Russia or Ukraine and its allies,” Graham emphasized.
He emphasized that Ukraine is the “breadbasket” of the world. In particular, 50% of the food in Africa comes from Ukraine.
“We can make money and have economic relations with Ukraine, which will be very beneficial for us. So Donald Trump wants an agreement to return our money, so that we can be enriched with rare minerals . A good deal for Ukraine and for us. And it will bring peace.” , Graham sums up.
Let’s remember that in this comment Graham actually reiterated one of the points of Zelensky’s Victory Plan, which he presented to both presidential candidates even before the US elections. It contains a proposal by the US and the EU to enter into a joint agreement to protect resources and exploit economic potential. It has been reported that this item has a secret application.
Later, the media reported that Trump was interested in two points from the Victory Plan – replacing part of the American troops stationed in Europe with Ukrainian troops and the point on Ukraine’s mineral resources. It was noted that the second point was proposed by Graham, who suggested sharing Ukraine’s critical natural resources with the West.
