Ukraine to send delegation to US next week for mineral deal talks. #AP
![]() 2047 Monday, 07 April, 2025, 13:45 Next week, Ukraine will send a delegation to Washington to begin talks on a new draft agreement that would grant the U.S. access to Ukraine's mineral resources, Economy Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko told the Associated Press. The Ukrainian delegation will consist of representatives from the economy, foreign affairs, justice, and finance ministries. Svyrydenko said that the new U.S. proposal still includes plans for a fund or joint investment between the two nations. The long-running negotiation, which has already strained ties between Kyiv and Washington, follows an attempt to finalize a framework agreement earlier this year. Those plans were disrupted after a heated Oval Office meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and President Volodymyr Zelensky. Critics later slammed the leaked draft for potentially undermining Ukraine's control over its natural resources, including not just rare-earth minerals but also gas and oil. |
