Minerals deal unrelated to peace process in Ukraine — US Department of State
![]() 526 Saturday, 19 April, 2025, 09:33 The natural resources deal that Washington is planning to conclude with Kiev is not related to the settlement of the Ukraine conflict, Spokeswoman for the US Department of State Tammy Bruce said. "This is something that is separate. This is not a part of the ceasefire talks. It is not an element within the agreement to stop this catastrophe," she told Fox News. Bruce added that US President Donald Trump "would expect that to be signed toward the end of next week." On April 17, Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko announced the signing of a memorandum on the minerals deal, describing it as a sign of productive cooperation and a shared aim to finalize a full agreement. The sides are working toward setting up an investment fund for Ukraine’s reconstruction, which, once formalized, will need to be ratified by both nations' parliaments, she added. However, she did not disclose any specifics regarding the deal’s provisions. |
