乌克兰媒体报道：EU proposes its own deal on minerals to Ukraine – European commissioner
“ 。。。 European Commissioner for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy Stéphane Séjourné has stated that he proposed a mutually beneficial agreement on Ukraine’s critical minerals to Ukrainian officials during his visit to the city of Kyiv with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. 。。。”
Grok AI answer :
During a visit to Kyiv on February 24, 2025, European Commissioner for Industrial Strategy Stéphane Séjourné announced a proposal for a partnership with Ukraine focused on its mineral resources. He emphasized that Ukraine could supply 21 out of 30 critical materials Europe needs, framing it as a “win-win” and a “mutually beneficial deal.” Unlike the U.S. approach, which initially demanded $500 billion worth of Ukraine’s mineral profits as repayment for wartime aid (a figure later dropped from negotiations), the EU’s offer doesn’t appear to involve a hard contract with specific financial or ownership demands. Séjourné explicitly stated, “The added value Europe offers is that we will never demand a deal that’s not mutually beneficial,” signaling a contrast to the U.S.’s earlier, more transactional stance.
This EU proposal came on the heels of Zelensky’s rejection of the U.S.’s $500 billion minerals draft, which he criticized as something “ten generations of Ukrainians” shouldn’t have to repay. The timing suggests the EU is positioning itself as an alternative partner, especially as Kyiv nears a revised minerals deal with the U.S. that’s reportedly in its “final stages” as of February 24, per Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stefanishyna. The EU’s move seems less about locking Zelensky into a signed contract right now and more about offering a strategic counterweight to both U.S. pressure and Russia’s unexpected bid (via Putin) to supply minerals to the U.S., including from occupied Ukrainian territories.
No public evidence shows the EU has presented Zelensky with a formal document to sign as of this moment—just a high-level proposal. That said, the situation’s fluid. The EU’s in Kyiv, the U.S. is pushing its own deal, and Zelensky’s juggling both while insisting on security guarantees over resource giveaways.
