The country has rare earth minerals worth trillions and is ready to make a deal with the US, Senator Lindsey Graham has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ukraine could be extremely useful to the US because it is brimming with valuable natural resources and is willing to negotiate an agreement with Washington on extraction, Senator Lindsey Graham has said.<\/p>\n

The Republican senator from South Carolina told Fox News that the Ukraine conflict is ultimately \u201cabout money.\u201d<\/em> An extract of the interview was published on the senator\u2019s YouTube channel on Wednesday. \u201cYou know that the richest country in all of Europe for rare earth minerals is Ukraine?\u201d<\/em> he said, estimating the worth at 2 to 7 trillion dollars.<\/p>\n

Graham added that Ukraine is ready to \u201cdo a deal with us,\u201d<\/em> but not Russia. \u201cSo it\u2019s in our interest to make sure that Russia doesn\u2019t take over the place,\u201d<\/em> he said, describing Ukraine as the \u201cbreadbasket of the world.\u201d<\/em>

\u201cWe can make money and have an economic relationship with Ukraine. It would be very beneficial to us, with peace,\u201d<\/em> Graham went on to say. \u201cDonald Trump is going to do a deal to get our money back, to enrich ourselves with rare earth minerals. A good deal for Ukraine and us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The president-elect, he added, will also help settle the conflict by concluding an \u201chonorable deal\u201d<\/em> that would avoid \u201chumiliating\u201d<\/em> Russian President Vladimir Putin and setting the stage for another conflict.

\u201cDonald Trump knows how to end wars. All Joe Biden knows how to do is start wars,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

Graham is known for his hawkish stance on aiding Ukraine and containing Moscow. In February, he was added to Russia\u2019s list of \u2018terrorists and extremists\u2019, after the senator advocated for designating Russia as a \u2018state sponsor of terrorism\u2019. In 2023, Moscow expressed outrage over Graham\u2019s remarks during a meeting with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, when he said: \u201cThe Russians are dying. The best money we\u2019ve ever spent.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In mid-October, Zelensky presented his \u2018victory plan,\u2019 which stated that Kiev is ready to sign with its Western backers \u201ca special agreement on the joint protection of the available critical resources\u201d<\/em> in Ukraine. <\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Mikhail Podoliak, a top adviser to Zelensky, also stressed that Ukraine has \u201cdeposits of rare minerals, such as lithium and titanium, which we can exploit together [with the US].\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump has vowed to quickly end the Ukraine conflict. Media reports have suggested that he may try to force Ukraine to drop its NATO ambitions and negotiate a freeze of the conflict. Moscow has ruled out a freeze along the current front line, insisting that all the objectives of its military operation must be achieved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
