US EditionA Ukrainian lawmaker says his country's parliament has voted to ratify a landmark mineral deal with the US
- On the last day of April 2025, a strategic minerals agreement was finalized in Washington, D.C., resulting in the creation of a jointly managed investment fund between the U.S. And Ukraine.
- The agreement followed prolonged negotiations and aims to unlock Ukraine's critical mineral wealth to reduce Western dependence on China amid recent trade tensions.
- The fund is a 50/50 partnership with Ukraine contributing half of royalties from new licenses and the US providing direct payments and potential military aid, without imposing debt on Ukraine.
- Industry insiders suggest the agreement is unlikely to generate substantial profits before a decade passes, with Timothy Ash describing it as more rhetoric than genuine investment.
- While symbolizing long-term commitment and supporting Ukraine's recovery, the agreement lacks explicit US security guarantees, making its success dependent on Ukraine's security and sustained investment.
