Ukrainian resources for peace — Sibiga responds.

This was announced by Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga during a briefing with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Wednesday, February 5.

Exchange of Ukraine's Rare Earth Resources for Peace

Sibiga noted that this point was outlined in the Victory Plan of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to him, this is one of the concrete implementations of the concept — peace through strength.

"Because this is also a part of certain guarantees for the presence of large businesses in Ukraine, and the significant interests of our closest allies — the USA — in developing and protecting such deposits", Sibiga explained.

Recall that US President Donald Trump stated that Ukraine is ready to exchange its 17 rare metals for American aid.

Subsequently, Zelensky commented on his statement, noting that Ukraine is open to the idea that all of this can be developed with partners.
