  1. The answer to your question is, no. First, the resources in Ukraine won't be commercially available until, 1. Russia leaves Ukrainian soil permanently, and 2. The mining of which rare earths are the by-product of, will take about 25 years or more to be up and running. 3. Ukraine's resources in critical minerals are dwarfed by those already available in Canada, South America, and Africa, which are on the open market already. What is smells badly is that the above information was already known before the meeting on Friday. What this "deal" was supposed to do was to give Trump positive optics and keep Putin guessing. It would have been Trump's Chamberlain moment for the media. After all, the deal wasn't a treaty enforceable by law, but only a Memorandum of Understanding, which isn't enforceable under International Law. If there was anything valuable to the US, they would not settle billions of investment on a Memo. They would have gone in under a full bilateral treaty, with terms detailing consequences fir failing to keep the deal. What can we reduce from this? Considering how many times Ukraine have signed Memos of Understanding, and been screwed over by them, they would have been aware that their "deal" was not to be relied on. And so would the Americans. So I think Zekenskyy decided to play along, because it suited his ends which was to keep Trump interested in the fate of Ukraine, discombobulate Paranoid Putin, and have some space to push for the needed security guarantees. But the rules of the game were switched, to provide Trump a get out of jail card, so he could concentrate on his problems at home. That's why Zelenskyy was made the patsy. Now, he's depending on the Europeans who haven't got all their ducks in a row, especially as they seemed to have forgotten that Russia broke 25 agreed ceasefires, so much to have recommended yet another one... Doh! Trump is distracted and bored with Ukraine. So, in every really sense it is up to Europe. It's Put Up or Shut Up time.
