Putin offers Russian and Ukrainian rare minerals to US​

A minerals deal is currently being finalised between Ukraine and the US
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he is open to offering the US access to rare minerals, including from Russian-occupied Ukraine.

This comes after US President Donald Trump has repeatedly pushed for Ukraine to give up some of its minerals in exchange for support, in a deal which is currently being finalised, according to a Ukrainian minister.

In a state TV interview on Monday, Putin said he was ready to "offer" resources to American partners in joint projects, including mining in Russia's "new territories" - a reference to parts of eastern Ukraine that Russia has occupied since launching a full-scale invasion three years ago.

The proposal could also see the two countries collaborating on aluminium extraction and supply to the US to stabilise prices, he added.

In his televised interview, Putin countered Trump's push to access Ukraine's mineral deposits, saying they were ready to work with "foreign partners" including companies on mining minerals.

Putin said a potential US-Ukraine deal on rare minerals was not a concern and that Russia "undoubtedly have, I want to emphasise, significantly more resources of this kind than Ukraine".

"As for the new territories, it's the same. We are ready to attract foreign partners to the so-called new, to our historical territories, which have returned to the Russian Federation," he added.

He also suggested that Russia and the US could collaborate on aluminium production in Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia, where one Russian aluminium maker, Rusal, has its largest smelters.

The televised comments followed a cabinet meeting on Russia's natural resources.

On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists the proposal opened up "quite broad prospects", adding that the US needed rare earth minerals and Russia had "a lot of them".

Offering the US access to minerals is an eye-catching move by Putin, given how much pride the Kremlin has taken in keeping Russia's natural wealth in Russian hands. In 2023 Putin accused the West, particularly the US, of trying to "dismember" Russia to gain access to its natural resources.

Putin's intervention comes as Ukraine has been facing growing pressure from the Trump administration to sign a deal for access to its mineral deposits.

Kyiv estimates that about 5% of the world's critical raw materials are in Ukraine. However, some of the mineral deposits have been seized by Russia in the three years since its invasion of Ukraine.

Trump said earlier this month that the US military and economic aid to Ukraine amounted to about $500bn (£396bn), and he wants the US to have access to Ukrainian minerals of that value.

Zelenzky has disputed that figure and is also said to want any deal to include security guarantees.

On Monday Ukraine's deputy prime minister for European and Euro-Atlantic integration, Olga Stefanishyna, said negotiations on such a deal "have been very constructive, with nearly all key details finalised".

Similarly - albeit in a different approach to the US - the European Union has also proposed a partnership with Ukraine that would give it access to minerals in what the European Commissioner for Industrial Strategy, Stéphane Séjourné, called a "win-win"

Mkataba wa madini kwa sasa unakamilishwa kati ya Ukraine na Marekani
Rais wa Urusi Vladimir Putin alisema yuko tayari kuipatia Marekani fursa ya kupata madini adimu, yakiwemo kutoka Ukraine inayokaliwa na Urusi.
Haya yanajiri baada ya Rais wa Marekani Donald Trump mara kwa mara kushinikiza Ukraine kuacha baadhi ya madini yake ili kupata uungwaji mkono, katika makubaliano ambayo yanakamilika kwa sasa, kwa mujibu wa waziri wa Ukraine.
Katika mahojiano ya runinga ya serikali siku ya Jumatatu, Putin alisema yuko tayari "kutoa" rasilimali kwa washirika wa Marekani katika miradi ya pamoja, ikiwa ni pamoja na uchimbaji madini katika "maeneo mapya" ya Urusi - rejeleo la sehemu za mashariki mwa Ukraine ambazo Urusi imekalia tangu ilipoanzisha uvamizi kamili miaka mitatu iliyopita.
Pendekezo hilo pia linaweza kuona nchi hizo mbili zikishirikiana katika uchimbaji na usambazaji wa alumini kwa Marekani ili kuleta utulivu wa bei, aliongeza.


Katika mahojiano yake na televisheni, Putin alipinga msukumo wa Trump wa kufikia amana za madini za Ukraine, akisema wako tayari kufanya kazi na "washirika wa kigeni" ikiwa ni pamoja na makampuni ya madini.
Putin alisema uwezekano wa makubaliano kati ya Marekani na Ukraine kuhusu madini adimu haukuwa na wasiwasi na kwamba Urusi "bila shaka ina, nataka kusisitiza, rasilimali nyingi zaidi za aina hii kuliko Ukraine".
"Kuhusu maeneo mapya, ni sawa. Tuko tayari kuvutia washirika wa kigeni kwa kile kinachoitwa mpya, kwa maeneo yetu ya kihistoria, ambayo yamerejea Shirikisho la Urusi," aliongeza.
Pia alipendekeza kuwa Urusi na Marekani zinaweza kushirikiana katika uzalishaji wa alumini huko Krasnoyarsk, huko Siberia, ambapo mtengenezaji mmoja wa alumini wa Kirusi, Rusal, ana viyeyusho vyake vikubwa zaidi.
Maoni hayo ya televisheni yalifuatia mkutano wa baraza la mawaziri kuhusu maliasili za Urusi.
Siku ya Jumanne, msemaji wa Kremlin Dmitry Peskov aliwaambia waandishi wa habari kwamba pendekezo hilo lilifungua "matarajio mapana kabisa", akiongeza kwamba Marekani inahitaji madini adimu na Urusi ina "mengi".
Kuipatia Marekani fursa ya kupata madini ni hatua ya kuvutia macho ya Putin, ikizingatiwa ni fahari kiasi gani Kremlin imechukua katika kuweka utajiri wa asili wa Urusi mikononi mwa Urusi. Mnamo 2023 Putin alishutumu nchi za Magharibi, haswa Merika, kwa kujaribu "kusambaratisha" Urusi ili kupata rasilimali zake za asili.
Chanjo ya moja kwa moja ya hadithi hii
Kwa nini Ukraine inajadili mkataba wa madini na Marekani?
Uingiliaji kati wa Putin unakuja wakati Ukraine imekuwa ikikabiliwa na shinikizo kutoka kwa utawala wa Trump kusaini makubaliano ya upatikanaji wa amana zake za madini.
Kyiv inakadiria kuwa karibu 5% ya malighafi muhimu duniani iko nchini Ukraine. Hata hivyo, baadhi ya amana za madini zimekamatwa na Urusi

Sasa tofauti ya Urusi na Marekani iko wapi hapa mbona kama wote ni wezi wa mali za nchi nyingine?

Ukisikia siasa za kijiografia ndo hizo.

Si NATO achukue/waibe madini bure wakitumia uchochoro wa Ukraine no ni Russia mwenye haki kwa kuwa ni kaka mkubwa wa Ukraine.

Umeelewa hapo?
