Ukraine has reached a tentative agreement to allocate half of its mineral resources revenue to a fund for the U.S. in exchange for some benefits. This agreement follows strong urging from President Trump, as Ukrainian President Zelensky had previously dismissed less favorable terms lacking U.S. security assurances. The new deal implies a significant financial interest for the U.S. in these resources, while also allowing for some reinvestment in Ukraine. This shift in resource management highlights the complex international relationships and alliances influencing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Ukraine will contribute half of its revenues from the future monetization of natural resources to a fund, which the U.S. will benefit from under its laws.
Previously, Zelensky rejected draft agreements lacking U.S. security guarantees amid Trump’s request for mineral rights valued at $500 billion.
