This year's fast is starting on a rare day

 Zelensky rejected the offer to give 50 percent of minerals to the United States

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he has rejected a US offer to own half of Ukraine's rare mineral resources, such as lithium and titanium.

 According to the BBC, Ukrainian President Zelensky held a press conference on Wednesday about the US-Russia meeting.  He said there, we want security assurance this year.  Because we want to end the war this year.

 "I am protecting Ukraine," Zelensky said about the offer to give 50 percent of minerals to the United States.  I can't sell it.  I cannot sell my country.

 He said he rejected the first draft of the proposal because it called for Ukraine to give up 50 percent of its assets and contained no security guarantees.  He said, despite differences between Kiev and the United States, the war in Ukraine has cost about 320 billion US dollars.

 Zelensky also said that about 120 billion US dollars came from Ukrainian taxpayers.  And two hundred billion dollars came from the United States and Europeans.  The United States provided $67 billion in arms in addition to budget support.

 Earlier, Donald Trump said that the United States has asked for $500 billion in rare mineral resources in exchange for continued support.  Zelensky said the US claims it has provided 90 percent of Ukraine's aid, "but the truth is different."  However, he thanked the United States for supporting Ukraine.

 Meanwhile, Ukraine's air force claimed to have shot down 106 of Russia's 167 drones in overnight strikes.  The attacks took place in Odesa, Kyiv, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia and Cherkasy regions.  However, no details were given.

 Pakistan explained not to display the flags of India and Bangladesh in the stadium

 

 Rows of flags on the roofs of the Gaddafi National Stadium in Lahore, Rawalpindi and Karachi.  There are flags of all the countries participating in the ICC Champions Trophy, but India and Bangladesh are not there.  Such pictures and videos go viral.  There was a storm of criticism on social media.  Many believe that Pakistan decided not to hang the curtain out of anger over India not playing there.  Which does not go with the game of cricket.

 The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has given an explanation as to why the Indian flag was not hoisted on Monday (February 17) afternoon.  With a statement, PCB said, you know that India is not coming to Pakistan to play in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.  In that case, Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, National Stadium in Karachi and Rawalpindi Stadium have only the flags of the countries that will play there.

 So why is Bangladesh not kept?  According to the PCB, firstly, the Indian team will play all their matches in Dubai.  Secondly, Bangladesh has not yet reached Pakistan.  They will play their first match against India in Dubai.  That is why the flag of Bangladesh was not hung next to other countries.  So far only the teams that have reached Pakistan have been hoisted.

 ICC Champions Trophy-2025 will kick off with the match between Pakistan and New Zealand on February 19.
