Finally, the presidents of both countries agreed to conclude a comprehensive agreement as soon as possible for the development of Ukraine's critical mineral resources to strengthen Ukraine's economy and ensure long-term prosperity and security for Ukraine.

I hope Ukraine isn't forced to give up too much. Not happy to see this part going forward at all.

Yeah that effing sucks. I really didn't think they'd bend the knee. I can't blame them, but it still makes me sad.

Zelenskyy is in the unenviable position of being partially fucked or fully fucked. He also may be playing a longer game, waiting for the EU to fully replace U.S. support. With Germany staying somewhat stable, that's likely doable.

You really only need one industrial powerhouse sending weapons.

He and his nation are in a tough spot I don't begrudge him any decision he makes at this point.

It just grinds my gears that if I go searching (which I refuse to do) I know it will take me 5 seconds to find a maga citing this as evidence that Trump's bullying is clearly effective foreign policy and that Zelensky's cooperation represents an admission that everything said to him in the oval office was correct and OK.

We can only hope decent people sabotage as much of it as possible, knowing it isn't even remotely right.
