In exchange for this agreement, the U.S. will continue to provide material support for the Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Zelensky described the agreement as a \u201cdetailed plan\u201d on strategic partnership between the two countries that would include opportunities for American businesses, and said that Ukraine wanted investment in its resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI\u2019m thankful to the president and his message that he will support Ukraine,\u201d Mr. Zelensky said of Mr. Trump. \u201cAnd I know that he is strong man, and I am sure that he will push Putin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Trump said Wednesday that he had held a \u201chighly productive\u201d call with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to begin working toward a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Mr. Zelensky held a separate call with Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Zelensky said on X that he and Mr. Trump on Wednesday had discussed a plan that would secure continued American support in exchange for access to Ukrainian natural resources. The two discussed \u201cpreparation of a new document on security, economic cooperation, and resource partnership,\u201d he wrote. He said that they had a long and meaningful conversation and that they were \u201ccharting our next steps to stop Russian aggression and ensure a lasting, reliable peace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAs President Trump said, let\u2019s get it done,\u201d Mr. Zelensky wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bessent said his trip to Ukraine \u201cshould be a strong signal that the war is a top priority for the Trump administration.\u201d He added that his visit was intended to ensure that \u201cthe American people understand what we are doing here.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration has already sought an arrangement for the United States to secure rights to Ukrainian natural resources, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/12\/world\/europe\/trump-ukraine-rare-earth-minerals.html\" title=\"\">including critical minerals<\/a>, as a guarantee for further U.S. assistance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/113986279826269375\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">in a post on Truth Social<\/a> on Tuesday that he was sending Mr. Bessent to Ukraine because \u201cthis war must and will end soon \u2014 too much death and destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump, who has made curtailing spending in a variety of areas a focus of the early days of his new administration, also wrote that the visit would touch on American assistance to Ukraine. The United States, he added, had spent billions of dollars \u201cwith too little to show\u201d for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Zelensky said he welcomed the visit by Mr. Bessent. \u201cWe are already prepared for meetings with representatives of the United States \u2014 negotiations will begin soon,\u201d Mr. Zelensky said in his evening address to Ukrainians on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s focus on securing the mining rights was reflected in the choice of making Mr. Bessent the first high-level visit to Ukraine, rather than a senior security or military official to discuss the war.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hours after Mr. Trump announced the visit, Russia launched an aerial attack on Ukraine that included a volley of ballistic missiles aimed at Kyiv, the capital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The missile strike, which took place shortly before 5 a.m., killed one person and wounded four others, including a 9-year-old girl, according to the Kyiv city administration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Falling debris from interceptions by air defense missiles over Kyiv scattered debris that caused fires in buildings in four districts, and explosions echoed through the capital for several minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The missile volley in Ukraine also came hours after Russia <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/11\/us\/politics\/marc-fogel-teacher-released-russia.html\" title=\"\">released an American prisoner, Marc Fogel<\/a>, in what Mr. Trump said he hoped would be an initial step toward negotiating an end to the war.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/zelenskyyua\/status\/1889574207874277433?mx=2\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mr. Zelensky, in a post on X<\/a>, also voiced support for ending the war. \u201cThis Russian terror against Ukraine will not stop on its own,\u201d he wrote. \u201cRight now, we need the unity and support of all our partners in the fight for a just end to this war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Overall, Russia fired six ballistic missiles and 123 exploding drones at Ukraine overnight, after a period of nearly a month in which Russia has largely refrained from using ballistic missiles. Fighting also continued along the front line in eastern Ukraine, where Russian forces resumed assaults.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In his meeting with Mr. Bessent, Mr. Zelensky mentioned the missile barrage earlier on Wednesday. Ukraine, he said, relied on American air defenses. To defend against Russia\u2019s attack on Wednesday, Mr. Zelensky said, Ukraine had fired 10 Patriot interceptors, noting that the cost for this defensive action ran to millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Ukrainian military reported that 149 aerial bombs were dropped from airplanes and more than 2,000 short-range drone strikes were fired at frontline positions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In another missile attack on Ukraine, on Tuesday, Russia struck the country\u2019s main natural gas producing region, Poltava, continuing assaults on the country\u2019s energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Beyond Ukraine, the Polish military reported on Tuesday that a Russian military plane briefly entered its airspace, although it said that it was in contact with its Russian counterparts. The error was attributed to a problem with the plane\u2019s navigation system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
