Ukraine geologist, recently shopping for pig bellies, salmon and grapes in the local market, when he heard a man who seemed to began, he complained to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“Why did Zelensky not ask us before we give Americans to our mineral?” shouted. A woman joined: “Americans come to take everything.”
Geologist, Volodymyr Savytskyi, 75, silent. The potential to prevail the negotiations – and the potential of the country and the United States and the United States are more prominent about the potential minerals.
“Just need to live,” Mr. Savytskii said. “I hope that Trump will not deceive us. I believe that Americans should come, spend their money here and receive their earnings.”
In the central region of Kirovohrad, one of the leading mining areas of the country, the proposed transactions are a mixture of reactions, cleverness, fatalities and anger. After years of trying to stand against the Russian influence and attempting to adapt to the West, many America’s most important investment is in a positive way and be ready to use Russia to support the country’s most important tests.
However, there are symptoms of the approach to the US and the TRUMP management approach. Some people support the deal because they see Ukraine as there is no other choice.
Ukrainian authorities said the country has more deposits 20 Critical MineralAn open consulting company evaluated them worth a few trillion dollars.
Trump leadership is looking for future profits from these minerals, which has notified US military assistance to Ukraine for more than three years ago. In return, the United States would continue to support the theoretically, Ukraine.
Deal has reached longer than expected. An initial version fell from each other in a Disaster White House Meeting At the end of February. In the end of March, a new public proposal is heavier for Ukrainians. Kyiv said he would negotiate to improve the conditions before signing the contract.
Critics showed him as a sort of blackmail. Some Ukrainians said this was effectively stolen from Ukraine, while providing security guarantees for the future of the nation.
Velta Andriy Brodsky, a leading leader titanium company, who can win from a contract, “This is a story that wins if it ends properly.”
However, he stressed the fairness of any agreement in both countries. He said that the transaction should be a new marshal plan that helps reinstall Europe after World War II, allowing American companies to make a profit. Mr. Brodsky was approached by the six American investors who want to join.
However, the removal of excavations here is not as to go for an ATM: Although Velta launches operations in 2003, and until 2012, Titan began to produce Titan from the Great Ilmenit in Kirovohrad. Maps of Ukraine’s mineral deposits return to the Soviet era and not definitely reliableExperts say.
Environmentalists hope that US investors have more clean experiments and better employee protectors mine, but there has been no such a guarantee.
Mr. Savytskyi, who climbed his ears about minerals, is a guide to everything at the bottom of the surface. In 2000, in 2000, in 2000, Mr. Trump’s’s interesting graphite, lithium, uranium and titanium, minerals, mineral mines in the age of 23 years old, he said he was three miles from the front door.
Here, the history of uranium, extending more than 60 years, shows how difficult the minerals are used when it is very interested.
In 1963, Soviet geologists dug a well in the inhul river valley near Kropyvnytskyi to buy water for a nearby plant. They found radiation. The main examples showed a high level of high uranium.
Considered a jackpot. The Soviet Union was in a nuclear weapon race with the United States. Moscow completed his work until Mr. Savytskyi, he developed the first mine and poured a “money river” by pouring a “money river”.
In 1973 – Nerdy Cold Warrior, which is part of the hidden geological research group – and began work in the area of Kropyvnytskyi, a richer uranium. If everyone asks what was in the city center, Mr. Savytski said he was looking for construction materials.
It took 10 years to develop this deposit, which was part of the State East Mining and Processing Plant, one of the world’s largest uranium mining facilities in the world.
However, in 1986, 270 miles northwest Chernobyl disaster – the largest nuclear accident in the history of the world – Moscow’s enthusiasm of Ukrainian Uranus. Mr. Savytskyi’s research was lost.
In 1996, he started working in the inhulska mine of Mr. Savytskiki in five years after the Soviet Union. Over the years there were problems: Mine was not always profitable; Employees were not always paid. For a while, the population and corruption was endemic, Mr. Savytski. Workers often had health problems caused by radiation exposure.
Liudmyla Shestakova, who works with the environment Non-profit Flora In Kropyvnytskyi, a city of 220,000, a city, which covers the hills of the remaining wastes covering the New York Times, took a round around inch.
This waste is lightly radioactive. When the wind blows or raining, the results are bad for the environment. The environmental rules of Ukraine were late behind the West: Asbestos were not banned until 2017. Radon is all about.
Only outside the kropyvnytskyi people fill the sticks with water from a nearby spring water flowing from the mine. (Also in this spring, even crisp in the morning, the constitution also dipped cold water.)
65, 65, in general, the United States can develop US investment, which is still a long time, which reflects the good will is still with current tensions.
“If investment comes and is responsible – not with careless mining practices – we fully support it,” he said.
However, Ms. Shestakova expressed concern that the last proposal of Trumman’s last proposal. It is concerned about Ukraine, investment, environmental protection or the country’s security will give its natural resources without any guarantee.
“It is as if Ukraine does not buy anything,” he said.
In a cemetery under a hill of uranium waste, recently visited the graves of family members recently; Husband, who works as a miner like a miner, was later died of diabetes. It was pragmatic about the relationship with Americans.
“If these minerals are lying there and now do not extract them and now someone does this, if someone does it and there is a few percent of the earnings.
Meryna Vinnik in 64, 64, sinks himself every morning in the spring flowing from the mine. Ms. Vinnik is a librarian; The son is on the frontline. He said he was constantly worried about how much relations with the United States.
“Everything was feeling different when we have strong support,” he said, stood barefoot on the snow wrapped in a towel. “There’s a saying: ‘You can do it, but it will take shirt from your back.’ We must accept this agreement as an unacceptable price.
Mr. Savytskyi, who is a friend of Ms. Vinnik, believes that daily dips are probably harmless, about 40 years ago live in the same apartment to him by the Soviet Union. Geology books such as “external uranium savings”, next to their favorite chair, along with many mineral.
The head was full of minerals, but he did not forget the war. The nearby rocket shot caused electricity to power that morning. In 2022, he said that his family and the building lived in the basement of the building.
“So I support this agreement,” he said. Added: “You understand that we must be in the war and defend ourselves. We are ready to work with anyone who helps us.”
