A reasearch into Who owns Ukraine’s rare earths will surprise.
Ukraine started the massive privatization through sale and auction of its rare earths deposits and producers in 2021 and continued to sell them till late 2024.
The case of one of the World’s largest titanium and other rare earths producer is a guiding example: the Ukrainian government has sold it in October 2024 to Dutch holding companies, so it is now in hands of foreign shareholders.
Ukrainian oligarchs happily stepped in and snatched mining operations and many other state owned companies.
Selensky cannot offer to Trump those rare earth mines and producers which are sold to private hands, specially to the hands of foreign investors and Ukrainian oligarchs. Selensky cannot pledge the already sold mining companies for US aid to Ukraine. So, what’s really left for a pledge?
