Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Vladimir Putin proposed offering the U.S. access to Russian rare minerals, including from Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine, in joint mining projects.

His offer follows U.S. pressure on Ukraine to grant mineral access in exchange for aid.

Putin dismissed concerns over a U.S.-Ukraine agreement, claiming Russia has far greater resources. He also suggested U.S.-Russia collaboration on aluminium production.

Ukraine continues separate negotiations with both the U.S. and the EU.

The proposal could also see the two countries collaborating on aluminium extraction and supply to the US to stabilise prices, he added.
