As part of its geopolitical strategy, Russia has proposed granting Donald Trump access to its natural resources. The aim is for Moscow to surpass Ukraine's offer and secure an advantage in the region. "Wyborcza" reports this as another step in Russia's ongoing attempt to bolster its influence on the global stage.

Amid tensions between Russia and Ukraine, offering resources to Trump could have significant repercussions. Moscow is keen to take every available opportunity to enhance its standing in global politics. This proposal to the former U.S. president is part of a larger strategy aimed at undermining Ukraine's position.

The international community is watching Russia's actions with vigilance. Increased regional tensions could influence diplomatic relations and alter the balance of power. "Wyborcza" stresses the importance of careful observation to fully understand the ramifications of these moves.

The great game for Earth's wealth

Ukraine is a country rich in natural resources that attract global interest. These resources, including lithium, titanium, and rare earth metals, are essential for modern technologies. Some of these deposits are located in territories currently occupied by Russia, adding complexity to the geopolitical landscape. Ukraine estimates that the value of its mineral resources could reach up to $26 trillion.

Donald Trump, the former president of the USA, proposed a deal with Ukraine in return for military assistance. The offer included a demand for American companies to gain access to Ukrainian resources valued at $500 billion. Trump argues that the United States deserves to benefit from these resources, given the significant expenses incurred in supporting Ukraine during its conflict with Russia.

Trump's proposal has been criticized and resisted by Ukrainian authorities, who are concerned about its long-term impact. Kyiv contends that the offer does not sufficiently protect Ukrainian interests, and the influx of American capital into resource extraction could be risky due to the unstable wartime situation. Experts emphasize that commencing extraction would require significant investments and the political and economic stabilization of the region.
