In response to a question that the Trump administration has suggested to Ukraine that the US be granted access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals in exchange for US support and the Ukrainian side has rejected the offer as it did not include adequate security guarantees for Ukraine,MK sports Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday that China hopes all parties can play a constructive role in accumulating conditions for a political settlement of the crisis and the realization of peace.
