Senator Lindsey Graham recently emphasized the immense value of Ukraine's critical mineral resources, estimated to be worth between $10 to $12 trillion, and the strategic importance of these assets for Ukraine and the Western world. Speaking on CBS News' "Face The Nation," Graham underscored the necessity of supporting Ukraine to ensure these resources do not fall into the hands of Russia and China.
🚨 Lindsey Graham has just confirmed that they are not sacrificing the Ukrainian people for "freedom" and "democracy," but for Ukraine's minerals, which are worth trillions of dollars, and the West wants them. This is unbelievable… pic.twitter.com/A1aYqy6CPb

"What did Trump do to get the weapon slowing? He created a loan system. They're sitting on 10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe," Graham stated, highlighting the vast economic potential that these resources hold for Ukraine.
Graham expressed his concerns about the implications of allowing these valuable assets to be controlled by hostile powers. "I don't want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China. If we help Ukraine now, they can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of. That 10 to $12 trillion of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West, not given to Putin and China."
Emphasizing the high stakes involved in the ongoing conflict, Graham called for decisive action to support Ukraine in its struggle. "This is a very big deal how Ukraine ends. Let's help them win a war we can't afford to lose. Let's find a solution to this war. But they're sitting on a gold mine. To give Putin 10 or $12 trillion of critical minerals that he will share with China is ridiculous."

Graham's remarks underscore the broader geopolitical significance of Ukraine's mineral wealth and the potential for mutually beneficial cooperation between Ukraine and Western nations. By securing these resources, Graham argues, the West can strengthen its strategic position while aiding Ukraine's economic development and stability.

Africans in Africa have been TRYING to tell ya’ll forever that they’re really NOT POOR, but that it’s FOREIGN MEDDLING behind the scenes that corrupts their naive & greedy KneeGrow sellout mis-leaders.
Anywho, Eastern Ukraine will be permanently controlled by Russia. There’s nothing imbecile queer “Lindsay” or any other corrupt pro-NATO shill can do about it.
Ya, I see that:
I mean seriously, how many BILLIONS OF $$$$’s did we send there?
We know they did not spend it on the “War” effort … so the question that needs to be asked:
