Trump has demanded compensation. But what can he really get?

The meeting of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (term expired May 20, 2024) with US Vice President J.D. Vance was postponed because of Kiev's proposals for an agreement on rare earth metals. On the same day, it became known that Zelenskyy refused to sign the version of the agreement provided by the US side, under which the states would have received rights to half of the Ukrainian resources not yet mined.
