Russia Mocks Trump as Ukraine Trades Minerals for Survival

Russia is lashing out again but this time, it’s not over missiles or tanks. It’s over minerals. The Trump administration has secured a critical minerals agreement with Ukraine, a move that’s got Moscow fuming and spouting off the kind of rhetoric you’d expect from a regime on its heels. According to Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev, Ukraine is “about to disappear” and is now paying for U.S. aid with its own natural wealth.

Here’s what really happened:

• President Trump approved a minerals agreement with Ukraine on Wednesday, after months of tough negotiating.

• The deal ensures continued U.S. military support in exchange for access to Ukraine’s valuable mineral resources, including rare earths critical for defense and tech industries.

• A joint U.S.-Ukraine investment fund will be created, allowing America to collect revenue from these resources while keeping nations like China and Russia out of the reconstruction pipeline.

Let’s cut through the noise: this is not some charity project or reckless globalist giveaway. It’s a clear sign that President Trump is willing to stand up to Russia and make strategic deals that benefit the American people first. After years of the Biden administration draining U.S. stockpiles and funding endless wars with zero accountability, Trump is leveraging our power to win real concessions.

Russia’s furious response is telling. Medvedev’s mocking tone saying Trump "pressured the Kiev regime" and calling Ukraine a nation "about to disappear" reveals just how threatened they are. That kind of language isn’t confidence. It’s desperation.

This is about more than Ukraine. It’s about American strength. Trump has made it crystal clear that the days of America getting played in foreign entanglements are over. Instead of funneling billions into black holes, he’s making deals that serve our interests.

Consider this:

• Ukraine holds around 500,000 metric tons of lithium, a mineral crucial for batteries and military tech.

• The global demand for rare earth elements is expected to double by 2030, making Ukraine a strategic goldmine.

• Under Biden, the U.S. handed out over $75 billion to Ukraine with almost no oversight. Trump’s $50 million package, tied to tangible returns, is a breath of fresh air.

And despite the gnashing of teeth in Moscow, the deal does not block Ukraine from seeking EU membership a major win for Kyiv’s independence from Russian influence.

The message here is simple: President Trump is reshaping U.S. foreign policy from the ground up, making it tougher, smarter, and unapologetically pro-American. The Democrats? They're too busy bending over backward to appease international elites while letting adversaries run wild.

It’s time for a presidency that knows how to play hardball and win.
