Kyiv and Washington held talks with weeks Ukraine’s access to non-use of critical mineralsIncluding the Lithium and Titan, which is very important to produce modern technologies.
According to the two Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, only Zaporizhiya plant, only if the zaporizhiya plant is controlled by speaking in anonymity to discuss negotiations. The Ukrainian official is currently released again last week in this process In Saudi Arabia to discuss the US-Ukrainian meeting to potentially.
The plant sits in the southern region of Ukraine in South Zaporizhzhia, which was announced despite only one part of Russia.
Concerns on the security of the plant are partially in part because it is close to the front of the front. Despite the closure of all six reactors – unless the electricity is generated – still requires energy to prevent critical security systems and cooling mechanisms to prevent a melting.
Ukraine has many times demanding Russian forces leave the plant to reduce the risk of nuclear accident.
For Ukraine, the administration of the plant has obvious benefits.

However, the signing was later postponed The meeting turned into a tense demonstration.

Energy experts also noted that the United States can see the plant and technology under Ukraine’s control, but also to see the plant under the control of Ukraine and show economic interest.
Victoria Voysitska, Former Ukrainian MPs and a high-level member of the Parliamentary Energy Committee, “Great Agreement”, the fuel supply is a “big deal”. Have Westinghouse over the past three years Expanded its existence in UkraineGradually, the Russian nuclear giant used in Ukrainian crops is gradually replaced by technology.
It is unknown what Mr Trump can offer Russia to hand over the plant to Ukraine. Russia will probably demand something in return, Mr. Prokip said, for example, as the lifting of Western sanctions that hurt the economy. “They will not only return this nuclear power plant,” he said.
