[Starmix]

The report said that Ukraine and the US are closing in on an agreement that would grant Washington a share of Kyiv’s revenues from natural resources. This was confirmed by President Donald Trump, who said his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky may come to the White House in the coming days, to sign the agreement.

The report added that the question of mineral wealth is tied up in conflicts over US military and financial aid to Ukraine, and how to end the war.n18oc_world n18oc_cruxCRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.

I hope Trump is not too greedy to acquire a portion of Ukraine containing natural resources with nothing in return. Hoping for a good deal once President Zelensky and President Trump meet at the White House.

Trump is a business man and knows when the ball in in his court. He is expert negotiator and will not allow United States to give Ukraine weapons for free. Ukraine can only survive in sich deep crisis by becoming self reliant and manufacture their arms or they will be in debts that will take 10years to pay off.

Ukraine already agreed to allow the USA to buy a portion of their lands containing rare minerals after some thoughts when Trump and Zelenskyy met personally and clash happened that angered both sides Trump and Zelenskyy.

(The Guardian) Ukraine and US make 'substantial progress' on minerals deal, Kyiv says
Ukraine and the United States have made “substantial progress” in their talks on a minerals deal and will sign a memorandum in the near future, first vice prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko said on Wednesday. “Our technical teams have worked very thoroughly together on the agreement, and there is significant progress. Our legal staff has adjusted several items within the draft agreement,” Svyrydenko said in a social media post on X.

She said the work on the deal would continue and that both sides agreed to sign a memorandum in the near term as the first stage to record the progress.

Deputy Ukrainian economy cinister Taras Kachka told national television that talks were advancing and that it was likely a provisional document, or memorandum, could be signed very soon. -- A final document won’t be signed this week. There is a lot of work to be done because the ideas included in the agreement by the US side need to be developed further.

The US has reduced its cost estimate for the assistance provided to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion in 2022 to about $100bn from $300bn, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Last month, the Trump administration proposed a new, more expansive minerals deal, which gives Ukraine no future security guarantees but requires it to place in a joint investment fund all income from the exploitation of natural resources by state and private enterprises across Ukrainian territory.

The future agreement would require ratification in Ukraine’s parliament and was expected to help economic growth in both countries, Svyrydenko said, but provided no more details. “It will create opportunities for investment and development in Ukraine and establish conditions for tangible economic growth for both Ukraine and the United States,” she said.

That's a very good information, hoping that after the parliament ratified the agreement, both countries enjoy the blessings from that mineral land. Ukraine is lucky to have that mineral contents land, If only war didn't break.
