What Are Rare Earth Minerals and Why Are They Important? | WION ORIGINALS

Donald Trump is reportedly seeking a Ukraine minerals deal linked to U.S. war support, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is promoting rare earth partnerships as part of his victory strategy. The push highlights growing competition over critical minerals, with Trump also eyeing Greenland’s vast rare earth reserves. These resources are essential for EVs, smartphones, missiles, and advanced military systems, making them a key geopolitical asset. China currently dominates global rare earth mining and processing, giving it major strategic leverage. Ukraine holds significant deposits of lithium, nickel, graphite, and rare earths classified as critical by the EU. Some of Ukraine’s coal reserves also lie in Russian-controlled regions, adding to the complexity. Western countries increasingly see Ukraine as an alternative to reduce dependence on China’s mineral dominance.
