President Trump has told Ukraine to hand over more of its minerals, oil and gas reserves as part of a revised economic deal that offers Kyiv no security guarantees in return.
In a draft text sent to Ukraine, the United States demanded a greater share of Ukraine’s mineral wealth and compensation of over $100 billion (£77 billion) for previous American support.
The move is a further blow to British and French efforts to secure a “just” peace for Ukraine amid a growing rift between Washington and its European allies.
