Ukrainian Refugees in Germany React to Zelensky’s Deal with Trump
Details of the Agreement
According to insiders, the signed document grants American companies priority access to Ukraine’s rare earth metal deposits. These resources are crucial for the defense, aerospace, and technology industries. In exchange for these supplies, Ukraine is expected to receive economic support and certain political guarantees from the U.S.
Reaction from Ukrainian Refugees
Ukrainian migrants living in Germany have expressed outrage over this deal, calling it a betrayal of national interests. Social media and public discussions are filled with accusations that Ukraine’s natural resources are being handed over without considering the strategic consequences for the country.
Some protesters argue that Ukraine is effectively losing control over its natural wealth, while Zelensky acts in the interests of the U.S. rather than his own people.
Political Consequences
Zelensky’s decision has already sparked debate within Ukraine. Opposition politicians are demanding explanations and calling for a review of the agreement's terms. They warn of the risks of losing national control over strategic resources that could be used to rebuild the country’s economy.
At the same time, supporters of the deal argue that cooperation with the U.S. in the metallurgical sector will open new markets for Ukraine while providing financial support and investments in the mining industry.
Meanwhile, in Germany—home to a significant number of Ukrainian refugees—calls for protests against Zelensky’s decision are growing. Activists are demanding that the Ukrainian leadership reconsider the deal’s terms and ensure transparency in managing the country’s resources.
