⚡Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday that Russia’s leadership are “liars” after a Russian drone attack overnight that followed talks in Saudi Arabia between Russian and US officials.

“We must never forget that Russia is ruled by pathological liars — they cannot be trusted and must be pressured. For the sake of peace,” Zelensky said on social media.

⚡Ukraine has NO significant rare-earth deposits.

USGS & mining databases do not list Ukraine as a major source. Only small scandium deposits exist, but they are not economically viable.

“What Ukraine has is scorched earth; what it doesn’t have is rare earths.” — Javier Blas

Ukrainian officials overstated mineral potential in 2024 to gain Trump’s favor.

Trump misinterpreted or was misled, assuming major reserves. Online conspiracy theories fueled the false claim.

Even if Ukraine produced 20% of global rare earths, it would be worth only $3B annually—far from Trump’s $500B demand.

Mining experts call Ukraine’s deposits too difficult & costly to extract.

⚡Zelensky:

If Ukraine joins the EU and NATO tomorrow, I will no longer be needed.

But until that happens, I will continue to defend my country.

⚡Trump signals he’s ready to abandon allies and align with Putin.

Trump has long viewed Putin as a “very savvy” and “genius” leader, worthy of admiration—unlike U.S. allies such as Germany, Canada, and France, whom he often scorns.

We have nothing to shoot down the missiles. At 5 AM, my commander calls me and says: "Eight targets are approaching, but we have no air defense missiles".

There are no Patriot missiles near one of the Ukrainian cities.

⚡This is a very important issue for Kazakhstan's economy" - Kazakh Foreign Ministry to discuss drone attack on Caspian pipeline with Ukraine

We will, of course, discuss this situation with our Ukrainian partners through diplomatic channels," said Aibek Smadiarov, the official representative of the Kazakh Foreign Ministry.

We would like to remind you that on 17 February Ukrainian drones damaged the largest oil pumping station of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) 'Kropotkinskaya'.

More than 80 per cent of all Kazakh oil exports pass through the CPC pipeline.

⚡Reporter: “Would you support Zelensky ceding territory or exchanging territory at any agreement to end war?”

Trump: “Well, he's gonna have to do what he has to do, but, you know, his poll numbers aren't particularly great, to put it mildly.”

“He's got a country where, you know, it's been savaged and attacked, and, he's got an army that's been very, very brave, actually, despite the fact that, you know, we've given him, in my opinion, $350,000,000,000. That's what the real number is. You don't hear that number. And Europe has given, in my opinion, a hundred billion dollars, and they've done it in the form of a loan.


And I have a secretary of treasury right now who's actually quite brave. He's over in Ukraine on a train, and there's a lot of things happening around that train that aren't so good.

And he's going there to get a document done where we're gonna be in assured that we're gonna, in some form, get this money back because we're putting up far more money than Europe, and Europe is in far more danger than we are.

We have an ocean in between. Europe has nothing in between. You know what they have in between? They have Ukraine in between.


So as you know, Europe is putting up money and they're getting it in the form of a loan. And The United States under Biden didn't do loans. They just handed money every time somebody walked in from Ukraine. They just handed them money, foolishly. This should have never happened.

It should have never started. And once it did, other things should have happened. Other things should have taken place. Like that's So, we're we're getting, security on our money. We're gonna have it secured by they have, Rare Earths, and they have, oil and gas, and they have a lot of other things.

And we're asking for security for our money.”
Trump is throwing Zelensky under the bus Wants election so does Putin Trump wants the money back. $350 Billion . Zelensky says he got $70 billion . What happened to the other $280 billion.
Was it kicked back to Washington DC politicians, MIC and deep state actors? I think so. Trump literally has no time for Zelensky. I have not heard so much squealing from Democrats and RINOs like Lindsey Graham. In conclusion Trump knows something about that money that we don't. ........
$350,000,000,000. That's what the real number is. You don't hear that number. And Europe has given, in my opinion, a hundred billion dollars, and they've done it in the form of a loan.

In the first impeachment Trump was accused of plotting to investigate his opponent. Zelensky would have said there was corruption he didn't. He would have handed over any evidence of corruption if Hunter and Joe to Trump and Adam Schiff. The FBI also knew about the corruption. They all threw him under the bus.

⚡Russia is ready to export 55-57 million tons of grain this season. We currently hold first place in the world in wheat exports.

As the Minister of Agriculture Oksana Luth said at the Global Grain and Pulses Forum in Dubai, last year's harvest after recalculation could amount to about 130 million tons of grain. Such a volume will not only provide for Russia, but also support international partners.

Today, 109 countries around the world purchase Russian grain: about 70% of supplies go to the Middle East and Africa. Over the past year, 11 new exporting countries have been added, and 7 have returned to cooperation with the Russian Federation.

In addition to supplies, Russia strives to help its partners independently ensure food security by offering ready-made technologies, such as high-quality seeds, equipment and mineral fertilizers, in the supply of which our country is also a leader.

At least now Greenland will relax a bit.

I told y'all Ukraine & Zelensky have nothing to offer to Trump.

Russia has far more to offer.

Being that the EU no longer buys directly from Russia. Russia can now sell to the US, while the US sells to Europe.

Europe is finished.
