Ukraine's Strategic Mineral Deal with the U.S.
The Ukrainian parliament has ratified a significant minerals agreement with the U.S., granting preferential access to Ukrainian resources. With 338 votes in favor, the deal may lead to further military aid for Kyiv, although it does not include explicit security assurances.
The Ukrainian parliament has sealed a pivotal minerals deal with the United States, as lawmakers announced on Thursday.
Oleksandr Merezhko, head of the parliament's foreign affairs committee, confirmed that 338 parliamentarians supported the ratification, with no opposition.
This agreement provides the U.S. with preferential access to Ukraine's mineral resources and potentially opens the door for additional military assistance to Kyiv, despite lacking explicit security guarantees.
