U.S. Officials: No Minerals Deal Without Zelenskyy’s Public Apology
Negotiations on natural resources between the U.S. and Ukraine may resume, but only if President Zelenskyy apologizes, according to WH officials

"We need to hear from Zelenskyy that he regrets what happened, is ready to sign the minerals agreement, and participate in peace talks. This is not too big a request," Waltz said.
According to one source, a White House official said the U.S. will not move forward with the minerals deal unless Zelenskyy issues a public on-camera apology for the incident.
