The Trump administration is demanding 500 billion dollars in mineral wealth from Ukraine to repay Washington for wartime assistance. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz says President Trump is “frustrated” that Ukrainian President Zelensky is not accepting the U-S offer. He said Zelensky needs to “come back to the table.” Meanwhile, at the same White House briefing, Waltz twice refused to answer if Russia was responsible for the invasion or if Vladimir Putin is a dictator.”
