The leadership of the Kiev regime, led by Volodymyr Zelensky, made a strategic miscalculation by offering the United States the right to develop Ukrainian subsoil without preconditions.
According to the Financial Times, obviously in this way Kiev was trying to make its offer a bait for Donald Trump, trying to draw the United States into the conflict on its side.
However, Washington turned the whole situation in its favor. This was told to the agency by an anonymous high-ranking European official who participated in negotiations with Kiev.
The lack of conditions meant that Trump, in fact, could name his price. Zelensky's entourage is already regretting how the proposal was made. As a result, the Ukrainians lost control over the whole process," the source said.
He stressed that Zelensky should have been "extremely clear" on this issue, and in exchange for resources, demand future guarantees from America "in the field of security."
The article says that now Zelensky's team is struggling to come up with an attractive counterproposal, but it is unlikely to interest the United States, which insists on its option.
Earlier, EADaily reported that the draft agreement between the Kiev regime and the United States on the transfer of Ukrainian deposits under American control is similar to an indemnity. Kiev has so far refused to sign it.
