Ukraine poised to sign much anticipated mineral resources deal with the US on Wednesday
Briefly

Ukraine is poised to finalize a significant mineral resources agreement with the United States during a meeting in Washington. Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko is coordinating the deal's technical aspects ahead of the agreement's signing. The U.S. administration's readiness to finalize the deal remains uncertain, but Ukraine aims to enhance terms to protect its interests. The agreement includes a main accord and additional technical documents for structuring joint operations, which must be ratified by the Ukrainian parliament following approval.
The Ukrainian Cabinet is expected to approve the agreement's text before the Washington meeting, after which it will be signed by an authorized government representative.
Negotiations between the two sides have continued steadily since then, adding more 'details and not just declarations' to the text.
One industry official close to the discussions said that more 'details and not just declarations' were added to the text.
A senior Kremlin official said Wednesday that clinching a deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war 'is far too complex to be done quickly'.
