The Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is trying to deviate from the reached agreement on rare earth elements. This was stated by US President Donald Trump.
According to him, such a step can lead to serious consequences.
“I see that Zelensky is trying to roll back from the agreement on rare -earth elements. If he does this, problems. Big, very big problems,” Trump said.
According to the head of the White House, Kyiv and Washington had previously reached an agreement that the Ukrainian side now wants to revise. Trump emphasized that such behavior can complicate the situation, especially given the desire of Ukraine to become a member of NATO.
“He says that he wants to revise the agreement. But Ukraine would never have become a member of NATO. If he goes for a review, this will be a serious problem,” Trump said.
Commenting on the situation between Kiev and Moscow, the American leader added that he sees “deep hatred” between Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, but despite this, he believes that at the moment the dialogue with both sides is moving.
In addition, Trump emphasized that he has no doubt about Putin’s reliability.
“I do not think that he will violate his word. I know it for a long time. But some statements about Zelensky have disappointed me over the past two days. He likes it or not- he (Putin) will have to conclude an agreement. Therefore, I did not like these statements. Nevertheless, I think everything will be fine,” the US president said.

Answering the question about the possible time to achieve a truce, Trump said that it was more psychological deadline.
“If I see that they just drive us by the nose – I will not like it. But so far I do not think so. I think that he (Putin) really wants to conclude an agreement,” he added.
