Nothing can replace the loss of home and place, but chucking huge amounts of resources at those affected can help provide them a far more pleasant form of misery.

Well these are now American critical earth minerals which just happen to be in Ukraine. So if Russia blows them up they are going to owe the USA a lot of critical earth minerals. Cheaper for Russia to just have a truce/peace.

bit hard to blow something up that has not been dug out of the ground yet

I hope the USA pulls all funding for Ukraine and the war will be over within a week

President Donald Trump's administration has reached an agreement with Kyiv on the framework of a rare earth mineral deal that Ukrainian officials hope will strengthen ties with the Trump administration and lay the groundwork for a long-term U.S. security commitment.

Reuters is saying it was originally Zelensky's idea:

Giving Washington a piece of Ukraine’s critical minerals and other resources was an idea Zelenskiy took to then-candidate Trump back in September, hoping it would align the two countries’ commercial interests. The Ukrainian leader got more than he’d bargained for after the November election, when Trump started talking about some $500 billion he expected as “money back” for the financial and military support the U.S. has channelled to the country since Russia invaded three years ago.
