It will be so funny if those old Soviet reports of mineral resources, which are very old, are wrong and the US just wasted time thinking they’ll get more resources than are there lmfao

The media is being deliberately misleading here, the deal is actually about all extractable natural resources in Ukraine including future oil and gas projects, not just minerals or rare earths.
Inside China Business did a video on how the mineral deposit claims are beyond dubious, but that’s the extent of my knowledge
