The agreement, tied to U.S. military support, grants access to Ukrainian rare earths while sparking debates over fairness and sovereignty.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to visit Washington on Friday to finalize a resource deal with U.S. President Donald Trump.
- The agreement allows the U.S. access to Ukrainian rare earths and other resources in exchange for continued military aid, with a jointly managed reconstruction fund included.
- Criticism has emerged from European leaders, including Germany's Olaf Scholz, who argue that leveraging Ukraine's resources for aid is exploitative.

- The conflict continues to escalate, with mutual drone attacks reported between Ukraine and Russia, resulting in casualties and infrastructure damage.
