Zelensky, ahead of Russian drone attack on Ukraine, says minerals deal with US is 'truly equal'

The strike came after Zelensky urged allies to step up pressure on Moscow to end its invasion. As for the landmark deal, Trump initially described the arrangement as 'money back' for the wartime aid Ukraine received under his predecessor Joe Biden. However, Ukraine says the agreement is not linked to any past 'debt' and the US stressed that the accord signalled support for Ukraine.
