“We are pleased to announce the signing, with our American partners, of an intention protocol paving the way to an economic partnership agreement and the creation of the investment fund for the reconstruction of Ukraine”said, on X, Ioulia Svyrydenko, Vice-Prime Minister and Minister of the Ukrainian economy.

kyiv and Washington had planned to sign an agreement on the extraction of Ukraine’s strategic minerals several weeks ago, but a conflict between presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky in February temporarily interrupted the on the agreement.

Trump hopes that the agreement, which aims to grant the States, royalties on the profits drawn from the exploitation of Ukrainian resources and rare minerals, constitutes compensation for the aid granted to Ukraine by his predecessor, Joe Biden.

Mme Svyrydenko did not publish the details of the memorandum, but said that the work continued for a final agreement. “We hope that the fund will become an effective tool to attract investments in the reconstruction of our country, the modernization of infrastructure, support for businesses and the creation of economic opportunities”she said.

kyiv claims concrete military and security guarantees as part of any agreement to put an end to the war that has lasted for three years.
