OREANDA-NEWS The United States can recoup its aid to Ukraine if it gets access to Ukrainian resources, while Europe will have to pay a crazy price for Kiev's help. Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, issued such a warning on his page on the social network X.

"Trump explained how Kiev would pay the United States with rare earth metals from Ukraine. And what about Europe? She will pay a lot of money to assemble the failed state of Ukraine from the rubble," the politician wrote.

He also called on Europeans to thank their leaders, Olaf Scholz, Emmanuel Macron, Ursula von der Leyen and "other pathetic figures" for the consequences of helping Kiev.

Earlier, Vladimir Zelensky said that Ukraine is open to mining by partners who supply weapons to Kiev. "We are open to the possibility that all this can be developed with our partners who help us protect our land," he said.
