And the US wanted to be there. The deal would have brought US led NATO right up to the Russian border. Protecting and expanding US interests. At a huge cost to Ukraine, Ukrainians and they’re future survival.** > [The Mineral Deal Would Put the US Directly in the Conflict between Russia and Ukraine](https://pennyforyourthoughts2.ca/2025/02/28/the-mineral-deal-would-put-the-us-directly-in-the-conflict-between-russia-and-ukraine/) **Seemed obvious enough. And Vance confirms it** [**AP News**](https://apnews.com/article/trump-vance-zelenskyy-ukraine-russia-war-c095188d261f33f8ec1034ab76d517d9) > Vance, in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity aired Monday evening, said **`the economic pact with Kyiv sought by President Donald Trump “is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years.”`** > The Trump administration has been making the case that` tightening the U.S.-Ukraine economic ties through an agreement that gives the U.S. access to valuable mineral deposits in Ukraine will give Russia pause about taking malign action against Ukraine in the future.` **Doubtful Russian leadership missed the minerals deal as security arrangement.**
