Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has criticized a minerals deal between Ukraine and the United States, signed on Wednesday, asserting that President Donald Trump has compelled Kyiv to pay for future U.S. military aid with its mineral resources. The agreement grants the U.S. preferential access to new Ukrainian minerals deals and will fund a reconstruction fund for Ukraine.

Medvedev, a former Russian president, stated on Telegram that the deal signifies that Trump has 'broken' the Kyiv regime, forcing it to use the national wealth of a 'disappearing country' to pay for military supplies. This statement reflects Moscow's ongoing critique of U.S. involvement in Ukraine. The Trump administration has also notified Congress of its intent to green-light the export of defense-related products to Ukraine through direct commercial sales of $50 million or more.
