US President Donald Trump said that during the upcoming talks in Saudi Arabia, the delegations will discuss possible concessions by Ukraine to end the war. This was reported by Fox News.

The key issue is concessions to Ukraine
According to Trump, the parties must determine whether Ukraine is ready to make material concessions to Russia.

Ukraine’s rare earth resources
Another topic of the talks will be an agreement on mining, which could give the US access to Ukraine’s strategically important rare earth resources.

“They will sign a mining agreement, but I want them to be committed to peace. They have not demonstrated that to the extent that they should,” Trump said.

Negotiations in Saudi Arabia are due to take place in the near future.
