Moscow could explore joint development of mineral deposits in the new Russian regions, the Russian president has said
Moscow is ready to work with Washington in developing rare earth mineral deposits, including in the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, and Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.
The 'rare earths' deal US President Donald Trump's administration is pushing for with Ukraine "doesn't concern" Moscow, Putin said in an interview with Russia 1 TV journalist Pavel Zarubin on Monday.
The actual value of Ukraine's rare earth mineral deposits remains to be seen, the Russian leader noted.
Moscow will be concentrating on its own development of rare earth minerals, given their importance in multiple sectors of the economy, he said.
"We would be ready to offer this to our American partners... if they showed interest in working together," Putin said, stressing that he meant both private and government companies.
