We walked several months to this point, but the parts arrived where they wanted. Now an investment fund will be created that will help recover Ukraine, yes, but will also give money to the United States
It was done, then threatened to fall to the last hour, while when there was one towards Washington, DC, but the mineral agreement between the United States and Ukraine is really done.
Made and signed, as announced by the United States Treasury Department and the Ukraine Ministry of Economy, hours after internal communication between them had done everything.
The signed agreement is what the United States calls “economic partnership”, in which it gives access to all minerals and natural resources produced in Ukraine.
It is that, contrary to what initially proposed, Donald Trump has changed the form to include natural gas and even the electrical production of the Ukrainian nuclear power plants, including the Energodar Giant in the Zaporizehzia region, currently in the hands of Russia. It is not yet known how many and that infrastructure will be in the American hand.
This agreement ends with weeks of frustration and stagnant negotiations, especially after the ugly discussion in which Volodymyr Zelensky was humiliated live by Donald Trump and JD Vance in the White House in February.
The signed agreement establishes, according to the Treasury Department, an “investment fund” for the reconstruction of Ukraine. The idea is, according to the United States, to manage a background that leads to the country’s reconstruction, and Washington, DC, will eventually profit from it.
The US Treasury Department says that this agreement is signed “in recognition of the significant financial and material support that the United States people have given to defend Ukraine since the Russian invasion.”
“This economic partnership positions the two countries for a joint collaboration and investment to ensure mutual goods, talents and capabilities that can accelerate the recovery of Ukraine’s economy,” reads.
This is because the fund will give access to US companies to help Ukraine in the energy field, and it is expected to be part of the money and energy taken from the exploitation of natural resources also reversed in favor of the United States.
Out of this agreement are any Russian claims, because what is foreseen is bilateral and does not involve Russia. That is why there are no questions such as Ukraine’s adhesion to NATO, borders or even the infamous Crimea region, which Donald Trump has already worked that it will be Russian.
The Treasury Department and the International Development Financial Corporation will now cooperate with Ukraine to finish a plan to manage minerals, also to advance what the United States says is a “important partnership.”
In the same statement, it is also read that the agreement clearly marks Russia that the Trump administration is committed to a ceasefire-centered peace process and sovereign and prosperous long-term Ukraine.
