At least 9 dead in drone strikes after US and Ukraine sign minerals deal

  • On Thursday, a Ukrainian drone strike targeted a market in Oleshky, resulting in at least seven fatalities and over 20 injuries, while a separate Russian drone attack in Odesa caused two deaths and wounded 15 others.
  • These attacks coincided with Kyiv and Washington signing a long-anticipated agreement granting the U.S. access to Ukraine’s mineral resources to support military and financial aid.
  • The agreement signed in Washington creates a collaborative investment fund aimed at Ukraine’s rebuilding, grants Kyiv authority over resource extraction, and includes no repayment obligations to the United States.
  • Former Economy Minister Tymofiy Mylovanov described the deal as a 'huge political and diplomatic win' despite 'unimaginable pressure,' while Russian officials criticized it as Ukraine surrendering national wealth for military aid.
  • Experts warn that mining development will take years due to infrastructure damage and conflict, making financial benefits uncertain despite hopes the deal will sustain U.S. support for Ukraine.
