The Trump administration claims its mineral deal with Ukraine as historic; however, concerns linger about the stability and sincerity of U.S.-Ukraine relations. Amidst perceived chaos and leadership changes, the deal appears to prioritize U.S. interests over Ukraine's security needs. Initially proposed by Kyiv as a way to attract U.S. investment, the profit-sharing deal represents a diplomatic victory for Ukraine, suggesting a shift in bilateral dynamics. Yet, critics argue that this agreement may lack long-term protection and commitment from the U.S., especially regarding Ukrainian sovereignty against Russian actions, thus complicating its true significance.
The real issue is that the vehicle is still following the signs for Moscow, indicating a lack of coherent direction in U.S.-Ukraine relations.
To reach a profit-sharing deal is a success for Ukrainian diplomacy in very difficult circumstances and arguably the first positive sign since Trump's presidency.
