Ukraine has significant deposits of mineral resources, including rare earth elements, which are essential for modern technologies. We also have large reserves of titanium and lithium, which are important for the aerospace industry and defense. For the United States, these metals are particularly valuable in the context of their geopolitical confrontation with China.
Experts assert that Ukraine's mineral resources were not the main reason for Russian aggression. However, for President Trump, these resources are important for his strategy to deter China, which controls most of the processing of rare earth elements and other crucial minerals in the world. Therefore, it is vital for the United States to maintain control over them.
