President Zelenskyy announced a significant minerals agreement with the US, highlighting its evolution into a balanced partnership. This deal promises to modernize Ukraineâs industry and legal systems, reflecting a successful round of negotiations with Donald Trump. Analysts noted Ukraine successfully gained concessions, particularly by avoiding a repayment clause for past US military assistance. The deal signals a united front to Russian leadership, reinforcing American support for Ukraine amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions and suggesting a strengthened negotiating position for Trump in future discussions with Russia.
The agreement has changed significantly during the preparation process. It is now truly an equal partnership one that creates opportunities for substantial investment in Ukraine.
Despite enormous pressure, every overreaching demand from the other side was dropped. The final deal looks fair, Tymofiy Mylovanov, president of the Kyiv School of Economics.
The deal will show the Russian leadership that there is no daylight between the Ukrainian people and the American people, US treasury secretary Scott Bessent said.
Dmitry Medvedev claimed it meant Trump had broken the Kyiv regime because Ukraine would have to pay for US military aid with mineral resources.
