Bloomberg learned the details of the agreement between Ukraine and the USA regarding natural resources.

Ukraine and the USA are preparing to sign an agreement on natural resources that will strengthen economic partnership between the two countries. According to an insider, the draft agreement, which includes the creation of a joint fund for managing investment projects in Ukraine, is already ready for signing. The agreement aims to increase investments in the mining industry, energy, and related technologies in Ukraine. The USA has also acknowledged that the agreement will not hinder Ukraine's plans to join the EU.

Previous terms of the agreement between Ukraine and the USA have been excluded, however, when signing the agreement, the contribution of the USA to the fund, which will become future military aid to Ukraine, will be taken into account. US President Donald Trump, frustrated by delays in implementing the peace plan in Ukraine, believes that the agreement on minerals will be signed with Ukraine.

Ukraine's Minister of Economy Olena Syvrydenko is in Washington, where final details of the document are being agreed upon. It is planned that the government will approve the agreement at a meeting.
