The minerals which are sitting in the parts Russia is occupying? Something seems rotten in this deal

You are right. The raw earth minerals are in the regions that are currently under Russian control. So, what are we getting? Virtually nothing.

@Jokersswild honestly the only thing I can think of is the plan is to indebt Ukraine, then demand payment in a way that empowers Russia. That would be a deal that Russia would have approved for Trump
