Why do I get the impression that these guys are simply politicking having already decided everything they actually want?
I don't think so, there is a clear sense of reality that rules-based order is not sustainable.

If they (The West) are politicking, it would be for their domestic audience to make them look tough.

Ukrainian army has no future in Kurakhovo anymore — DPR head
D
MOSCOW, February 17. /TASS/. The ongoing fighting near Ulakly west of the town of Kurakhovo in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) accelerates the speed of Russian advances there, regional head Denis Pushilin told the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

"The story of the so-called Kurakhovo pocket [of resistance], which formed as a result of our units’ advances, is coming to a logical conclusion. And now we can see that hostilities have started in the area of the settlement of Ulakly. Well, the enemy has no options left there. We can see steady advances of [Russian] units," he said.

The regional head added that Russian forces hold the initiative nearly along the entire frontline. In particular, they have expanded their area of control in the Velikaya Novosyolka direction.

On January 6, the Russian Defense Ministry reported the full liberation of Kurakhovo. According to Pushilin, the fortified area in Kurakhovo is comparable to Avdeyevka and Ugledar in terms of strategic importance.

⚡U.S. to Claim 50% of Ukraine’s Resource Revenues for Reconstruction Aid

A leaked draft agreement shows the U.S. securing 50% of Ukraine’s mineral, oil, gas, and infrastructure revenues in exchange for post-war financial support.

The deal, centered around a “Reconstruction Investment Fund,” would give the U.S. control over Ukraine’s resource licensing and long-term economic influence.

Key Terms of the Agreement

— The U.S. government (USG) commits to long-term financial investment in Ukraine’s stability and reconstruction.

— Ukraine (GOU) must allocate 50% of all revenues from resource extraction licenses to the U.S., effectively granting Washington a financial stake in Ukraine’s economy.

— The Reconstruction Investment Fund will have exclusive authority over how Ukraine issues and manages resource licenses.

— The U.S. will have a “right of first refusal” to purchase any exportable minerals before Ukraine can sell them elsewhere.

— Ukraine must waive sovereign immunity, meaning the U.S. can legally seize Ukrainian assets if Ukraine fails to meet its financial obligations.

— The agreement classifies Ukraine’s resource deals as commercial transactions, making them subject to U.S. and international arbitration.

— The U.S. gains full audit rights over Ukraine’s financial books related to the Reconstruction Fund.

— Ukraine must provide monthly financial reports to the U.S. and appoint an independent auditor, paid by Ukraine.


— The agreement does not specify an expiration date, meaning U.S. financial interests in Ukraine’s resources could remain indefinitely.

Ukraine Refuses

President Zelensky refused to sign a draft mineral resource agreement with the United States, stating that it does not adequately protect Ukraine's interests.

“The agreement is not ready to protect us, our interests.”

A former senior Ukrainian official called the U.S. offer "a colonial agreement"

The U.S. seeks 50% of Ukraine's rare minerals and has signaled it is open to deploying American troops to guard them if there is a deal with Russia to end the war
