Ukraine is sending a delegation to Washington to discuss a broader minerals deal involving legal frameworks and investment mechanisms. Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko emphasized cooperation based on prior engagements, though tensions remain high due to differing interests in resource control and military aid. The US proposal requires significant revenue allocations to a joint fund, and the newly leaked draft has raised concerns among Ukrainian lawmakers. A final agreement requires parliamentary approval, with Ukraine intent on asserting its interests in the discussions.
We aim to align on project selection, legal frameworks, and long-term investment mechanisms,
I believe the work on the previous memorandum showed that both teams are capable of reaching these goals and agreeing on terms acceptable to both sides.
The deal has remained a heated topic between Kyiv and Washington, with President Trump eager to get back billions given in military aid.
Svyrydenko stressed that what has been leaked so far only reflects America's interests, with Kyiv set to make its demands clear.
