Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski has unveiled a map of rare mineral deposits amid talks of a possible deal with the US to offer these resources in exchange for US financial support for the war effort.

In an interview with Reuters, Zelenski presented a detailed map of Ukraine's rare mineral deposits, including those under Russian occupation. The gesture comes amid pressure from the Trump administration to quickly end the war with Russia. Ukraine has floated the idea of offering its critical minerals for investment from allies, presenting a 'victory plan'.
