Former Swedish Prime Minister: The agreement on Ukrainian deposits is good, but it will not bring huge profits

The US-Ukraine agreement on the use of mineral deposits will bring good results, President Donald Trump will be pleased, but it will not provide the United States with much money, assessed former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Sweden Carl Bildt.

The former politician does not believe that the US-Ukraine agreement will have a major impact on the US economy in the coming years. "In Ukraine, you have to open new mines, and that requires huge capital outlays. So I think that returns (on investment) are a matter of the distant future," Bildt emphasized in an interview with the BBC.

According to Bildt, the agreement is "more of an adjustment to the psychology of the US president than to the realities in Ukraine."

Trump spoke of acquiring $500 billion worth of rare earth metals from Ukraine.

A similar opinion to Bildt was expressed in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter by Professor Magnus Ericsson of the Technical University in Lulea in northern Sweden. The expert in the field of raw materials expressed the view that "there is a lack of rare earth metals suitable for extraction in Ukraine and there are no such mines."

Prof. Ericsson reviewed the world's rare earth elements in the US Geological Survey (USGS) geological database. "Ukraine does have some of these deposits, but it's more of a scientific question. There are simply no deposits worth mining," he explained.

According to the scientist, the topic of rare earth metals appears in negotiations with Ukraine because China, the geopolitical adversary of the US, has a big advantage in their extraction.

“Dagens Nyheter” recalled that China controls about 60 percent of the world’s production of rare earth elements, as well as about 90 percent of their processing. According to the USGS, in 2024, 80 percent of the United States’ demand for rare earth elements came from China, Malaysia, Japan, and Estonia. There is only one rare earth mine in the US.

At the same time, Ukraine's mining industry is one of the largest in Europe. "Ukraine produces twice as much iron ore as Sweden in wartime conditions," noted Prof. Ericsson. Other valuable minerals in Ukraine mentioned by the expert include titanium and manganese, and in the territories occupied by Russia, additionally hard coal.

Rare earth metals are essential for the production of, among others, monitors, telephones, computers, batteries and wind turbine engines.

Bildt is currently an expert at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) think tank. He was Prime Minister of Sweden from 1991 to 1994, and was head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 2006 to 2014.

Prof. Ericsson has reviewed the elements of rare lands in the geological database of the US Geological Survey (USGS).

According to the scientist, the subject of rare lands appears in negotiations with Ukraine, because China, a geopolitical opponent of the US, have a great advantage in their extraction.

Dagens Nyheter reminded that China controls about 60 percent

At the same time, the mining industry of Ukraine belongs to the largest in Europe.

Rare lands are necessary for the production of, among others, monitors, telephones, computers, batteries and wind farms.

The US agreement with Ukraine on the use of mineral deposits will bring good results, President Donald Trump will be satisfied, but this will not provide the United States with a lot of money - said the former prime minister and head of Sweden diplomacy Carl Bildt.

The former politician does not think that the agreement between the USA and Ukraine has a great impact on the American economy in the coming years.

According to Bildt, the contract is "more adapting to the President of the US than the reality in Ukraine."

Trump talked about obtaining rare lands in Ukraine worth $ 500 billion.

A similar opinion to Bildt was expressed in the Swedish newspaper "Dagens Nyheter" by prof.

Trump mówił o pozyskaniu metali ziem rzadkich na Ukrainie o wartości 500 mld dolarów.

Podobną opinię do Bildta wyraził na łamach szwedzkiej gazety „Dagens Nyheter” prof. Magnus Ericsson z Uniwersytetu Technicznego w Lulea na północy Szwecji. Ekspert w dziedzinie surowców wyraził pogląd, że „na Ukrainie brakuje metali ziem rzadkich nadających się do wydobycia i nie ma takich kopalń”.

Prof. Ericsson dokonał przeglądu pierwiastków ziem rzadkich na świecie w bazie danych geologicznych US Geological Survey (USGS). „Ukraina rzeczywiście posiada pewne tego rodzaju złoża, ale jest to raczej kwestia naukowa. Po prostu nie ma żadnych złóż wartych wydobycia” – wyjaśnił.

Według naukowca temat metali ziem rzadkich pojawia się w negocjacjach z Ukrainą, ponieważ Chiny, geopolityczny przeciwnik USA, mają dużą przewagę w ich wydobyciu.

„Dagens Nyheter” przypomniał, że Chiny kontrolują około 60 proc. światowej produkcji metali ziem rzadkich, a także około 90 proc. ich przetwórstwa. Jak podaje USGS, w 2024 r. 80 proc. zapotrzebowania Stanów Zjednoczonych na pierwiastki ziem rzadkich pochodziło z Chin, Malezji, Japonii oraz Estonii. W USA działa tylko jedna kopalnia metali ziem rzadkich.

Jednocześnie branża górnicza Ukrainy należy do największych w Europie. „Ukraina w warunkach wojny produkuje dwa razy więcej rudy żelaza niż Szwecja” – zauważył prof. Ericsson. Inne wymienione przez eksperta cenne minerały na Ukrainie to tytan i mangan, a na terenach okupowanych przez Rosję – dodatkowo węgiel kamienny.

Metale ziem rzadkich są niezbędne do produkcji m.in. monitorów, telefonów, komputerów, baterii oraz silników do elektrowni wiatrowych.

Bildt jest aktualnie ekspertem think tanku Europejska Rada Spraw Zagranicznych (ECFR). Był premierem Szwecji w latach 1991-94, aw latach 2006-2014 stał na czele resortu dyplomacji.

Umowa USA z Ukrainą o wykorzystaniu złóż mineralnych przyniesie dobre skutki, prezydent Donald Trump będzie zadowolony, ale nie zapewni to Stanom Zjednoczonym dużych pieniędzy – ocenił były premier i szef dyplomacji Szwecji Carl Bildt.

Były polityk nie sądzi, aby umowa między USA a Ukrainą miała duży wpływ na amerykańską gospodarkę w ciągu najbliższych lat. „Na Ukrainie trzeba otwierać nowe kopalnie, a to wymaga ogromnych nakładów kapitałowych. Uważam więc, że zwroty (z inwestycji) są kwestią dalekiej przyszłości” – podkreślił Bildt w wywiadzie dla BBC.

Zdaniem Bildta umowa jest „bardziej dostosowaniem się do psychologii prezydenta USA niż realiów na Ukrainie”.
