As for the mineral resources

Haven't figured it out?

Unverified quid pro quo

A. Someone donates 300 million to Rs elections

1.  Ukraine's lithium deposits are among biggest in Europe

2. Someone needs lithium for vehicles and grid battery storage

3. "Uncle Sam" will turn off Sat service unless Ukraine signs a
mineral agreement.

4. "While Australia has long been a top-producing country when it
comes to lithium, China has risen quickly to become not only the top
lithium processor and refiner, but also a major miner of the
commodity. In fact, China was the third largest lithium-producing
country in 2023 in terms of mine production, behind Australia and
Chile"

5.  January 21, 2025 "Lithium in particular has been top of mind for
CEO Elon Musk" ... In a mid-2023...."Lithium prices went absolutely
insane there for a while," he said.

It might appear Musk wants Ukraine's minerals for two of his companies

Btw, why would "Trump to shut down all 8,000 EV charging ports at
federal govt buildings?"  He's not a Lithium man, but doing this would
cause EV vehicles to seek other EV charging stations, like Musk's.
