Russian President Vladimir Putin moved to undercut U.S.-Ukraine negotiations over a critical minerals-sharing agreement, offering an alternate supply deal for valuable elements such as titanium, lithium and beryllium.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he is open to offering the US access to Russia's rare minerals, including from Russian-occupied Ukraine. This comes after US President Donald Trump has repeatedly pushed for Ukraine to give up some of its minerals in exchange for support,

Ukraine said on Wednesday that it had reached a framework agreement with the United States on jointly developing Ukraine’s natural resources including rare earths, critical minerals, oil and gas.
