But she\u2019s a realist, like many in this mining region in central Ukraine. And ever since President Trump suggested it, she has thought that her country should sign a proposed deal that would give America some profits from mining in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Shestakova, 65, who works with an environmental group called Flora in the city of Kropyvnytskyi, had hoped a deal between the U.S. and Ukraine on critical minerals could bring much-needed investment to the region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But on Friday night, Ms. Shestakova, like many people in Ukraine, was shocked and blindsided at how the deal fell apart and how she felt that President Trump treated Ukraine\u2019s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, almost like a serf who didn\u2019t bow and kiss the ring quite enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWith a trustworthy partner, this could have been a beneficial deal for everyone,\u201d said Ms. Shestakova, who once ran Flora and now sits on its supervisory board. \u201cBut with a partner like Trump, it could actually be dangerous.\u201d<\/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\">Across Ukraine, people said they were upset Friday night. They also said they wouldn\u2019t stop fighting, even if America walked away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt will be hard, but we will survive,\u201d said Vitaly Deinega, 41, a co-founder of Come Back Alive, an army support charity. \u201cToday, I was not ashamed of my president and my country. I am not sure that the Americans can say the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This deal was never any Ukrainian\u2019s idea of a grand bargain. But since Mr. Trump took office, it became increasingly apparent that it was the only bargain on offer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After Russia launched its full-scale invasion into Ukraine three years ago, the U.S. became Ukraine\u2019s biggest supporter, and President Biden, Mr. Zelensky\u2019s biggest cheerleader. Since taking office, Mr. Trump has referred to Mr. Zelensky as a \u201cdictator,\u201d blamed Ukraine for starting the war and praised Vladimir V. Putin, Russia\u2019s president. And Mr. Trump has made it clear that he wanted payback for all of the support the United States had delivered in the past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The minerals deal was supposed to be the down payment. It was supposed to guarantee that the U.S. would stay engaged in the war and continue supporting Ukraine, if it got something back.<\/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\">Ukraine has more than <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/25\/world\/europe\/ukraine-trump-minerals-explain.html\" title=\"\">100 major deposits of critical minerals<\/a>, alongside oil and natural gas reserves, according to the Kyiv School of Economics. And the central Ukrainian city of Kropyvnytskyi, with about 220,000 residents, is ground zero for these. It\u2019s built on mining, much like the rest of the Kirovohrad region, rich with uranium, titanium, nickel and rare earth elements \u2014 the very minerals that the deal was built on, that Mr. Trump and the United States seemed so excited about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A final <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/ukraine-mineral-deal-trump.html\" title=\"\">draft<\/a> of the minerals agreement reviewed by The Times described how a U.S.-controlled fund would receive revenue from Ukraine\u2019s natural resources. The specifics were vague, but after furious rounds of negotiations, it had turned from something that felt almost like extortion for most Ukrainians to something they could live with.<\/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\">Before the deal fell apart, Ukrainians in the area were largely excited about the idea of getting more American investment in the region. Maybe that could help clean up the hills of uranium-laden tailings from the mines, or deliver higher-paying jobs. Most people here said they were fine with giving some of the profits from future mines to America in return for the country\u2019s support in its war with Russia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After the deal fell apart, Ukrainians said they were shocked. It was a jaw-dropping moment. At restaurants, diners interrupted their meals to stare at their phones watching live videos of Mr. Trump and Mr. Zelensky.<\/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\">\u201cIf the agreement is not signed, it will be much harder for us to continue fighting,\u201d said Volodymyr Savytskyi, 75, a geologist who worked at a mine near Kropyvnytskyi for decades. He added: \u201cIf it is not signed, we will have to find another way, working with Europe and negotiating differently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As always, Ukrainians were quick with the memes Friday night. \u201cR.I.P. back door deal,\u201d said one, with a gravestone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Oleksandr Tyron, a 30-year-old information technology worker who fled Vasylivka in the Zaporizhzhia region because of the Russian invasion, said he found out about what happened late Friday, after attending a pre-medicine class. \u201cThe knowledge of premedical care will help me in case of a Russian ballistic or drone attack in Kyiv,\u201d he said dryly. (Ukrainians have needed to master dark humor over the past three years.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He said he was proud of Mr. Zelensky for standing up to Mr. Trump. But he said he did not know what would happen if the U.S. decreased or stopped its support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI believe we will continue to stand our ground. I am sorry that Ukrainians and Ukraine have to prove themselves once again, but we have to do what we have to do,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is no other way. Moscow is simply trying to destroy us, and after everything the Russians have done here, allowing them to succeed is unthinkable.\u201d<\/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\">In Kyiv, Yuliia Alendar, a 30-year-old lawyer, described Mr. Trump\u2019s treatment of Mr. Zelensky as disrespectful. She also complained about how Mr. Trump has blamed Ukraine for starting the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s like blaming a victim of violence for having a short skirt,\u201d Ms. Alendar said. She added: \u201cIf Trump wanted to show that democracy is bending to dictatorship, then he succeeded. It feels like democracy is limited to the borders of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Olena Kuzmenko, 50, a former deputy of the Pervozvanivska community in Kirovohrad, said she was grateful for all of the assistance for Ukraine. \u201cBut from the very beginning, this tone of \u2018You are ungrateful\u2019 was infuriating to me,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t understand it at all. It feels like an attitude of \u2018We are big and strong, and you are small, so just do what we say.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Shestakova said she understood that it would be difficult for Ukraine without U.S. support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey will tear Ukraine apart, but we will stand,\u201d she said. She added that it was the right of Ukrainians to choose their president. \u201cIt\u2019s better to have no deal at all than to have this one,\u201d Ms. Shestakova said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid
