Trump says that Ukraine may be Russian one day. “

US President Donald Trump suggested that Ukraine might lose its sovereignty against Russia, and he said he wanted to compensate for the help of Washington to Ukraine.

(Ukraine) They may hold a deal. They may not find a deal. They may be Russians one day, or they may not be Russians one day. But we will get all this money there (Ukraine) and I say, I said Trump in one of Fox news: ” You want to return. ” interview Which broadcast on the two.

The president also said that the United States “mainly agreed” to a deal with Ukraine, which is seen Washington, is receiving rare resources and minerals – which are mostly used in electronics – for constant support.

“I told them that I want the equivalent of $ 500 billion in rare land (minerals), and they mainly agreed to do so,” Trump told the broadcaster.

Ukraine publicly did not comment on the value of any potential minerals dealing with the United States, although President Voludmir Zelinski said last week that it was Ready to “connect a deal” with the United States on minerals for help. CNBC has arrived at the Zelenskyy office for comment.

The Ukrainian leader realizes that Trump, senior American officials and defense officials want to achieve the war at the end, and that they are looking to make a deal with Moscow for this.

This short position has sparked Ukraine, as he made a sense of urging Kiev’s need to appear ready to negotiate and be subject to Washington’s proposals on a peace deal.

Amid the perceived fatigue of its main ally, and with the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it rapidly approaching February 24.

The US State Department says America Ukraine has so far provided $ 65.9 billion in military aid Other billions in financial and humanitarian aid, since Russia launched its invasion in 2022. The European Union says its general military support for Ukraine since the beginning of the war. It is 48.3 billion euros (49.8 billion dollars).

The issue of continuing continuous support for Ukraine is the lead in the lead this week, with senior US officials – including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Keith Kelog, Trump’s special envoy in Ukraine and Russia – to travel to Europe to light from prominent meetings.

National Security Adviser “Meet The Press”. On Sunday, US officials will use the UDCG meeting to follow a deal with KYIV with regard to help and pushing European partners to take more responsibility for the future of Ukraine.

“We need to recover these costs, and this will be a partnership with the Ukrainians in terms of their natural resources, oil, gas, as well as our purchase,” Waltz said on Sunday.

“These talks will happen this week. I think the basic principle here is that the Europeans must have this conflict to proceed to be with the Europeans.”

In a clear sign that the United States wants to back away from its leadership role in Ukraine, it is the UCDG. Defense Minister Beit Higseth is attending this event, but this will represent the first time in the past three years that his position has not headed the group.

The Pentagon said In a statement Before the UDCG meeting that HegSeth “will interact with NATO allies and partners to discuss the need to enhance allied defensive spending, increase European leadership, and expand the defensive industrial base capacity on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.”

“Trump’s commitment to the existence of a diplomatic end of the war in Ukraine will also be re -emerged. It will also highlight the need to increase the European leadership on Ukraine’s security assistance.”

CNBC asked the Pentagon more comment, but the Ministry of Defense will not be extracted on what American officials can ask for their European counterparts this week. A Pentagon spokesman told CNBC that no major political announcements were expected.
