Kyiv has finalized a deal with the Trump administration for the joint development of Ukraine's mineral resources, including oil and gas. This agreement is expected to strengthen Ukraine's relationship with the U. S. and support long-term security commitments.
• The agreement is set for signing after the U. S. removed a previous demand for a share of $500 billion in revenue from resource exploitation.
• Although explicit security guarantees are not included, the terms are seen as better than past proposals.
• Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister, emphasized that this deal is part of a larger strategy with the U. S.
• The deal allows Ukraine greater control over its mineral wealth and is expected to enhance its economy and infrastructure by reinvesting profits.
• Ukrainian officials are concerned about the absence of security guarantees, which were a major demand.
• The agreement has been approved by key Ukrainian ministers, and President Zelenskyy may travel to the U. S. soon for a signing ceremony.
• An American delegation visited Ukraine to discuss this deal and the broader implications for U. S. -Ukraine relations.
This agreement represents a significant shift in Ukraine-U. S. relations and aims to provide economic benefits and a potential pathway for future security discussions.
