Washington Drops $500 Billion Demand As Ukraine Minerals Pact Takes Shape

Washington Drops 0 Billion Demand As Ukraine Minerals Pact Takes Shape
SHARE

A resources deal between Washington and Kyiv is nearing completion, with both sides still ironing out differences in how the arrangement will be portrayed. President Donald Trump expressed optimism, stating that a finalized agreement has been reached, emphasizing the return of investments and potential profits in the future. On the other hand, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took a more cautious approach, labeling the potential pact as a “big success” while firmly rejecting any notion of debt repayment.

The core framework of the deal involves a jointly managed investment vehicle that will be funded by half of the profits from upcoming Ukrainian resource projects. This includes minerals, oil, gas, and transportation infrastructure. The initial demand by Washington for $500 billion has been dropped, a figure which Zelenskyy vehemently opposed, likening it to selling off Ukraine.

Security commitments continue to be a point of contention in the negotiations, with the document acknowledging Ukraine’s security needs but lacking firm defensive guarantees that Kyiv has been seeking. Additionally, the practicality of the arrangement is challenged by the fact that many resource-rich areas are currently under Russian occupation.

The strategic interest from the US comes amidst growing concerns over China’s dominance in critical minerals processing. With Chinese firms processing nearly 90% of rare earth elements globally, Ukraine’s substantial graphite, lithium, and titanium deposits offer potential alternatives. However, these resources remain largely untapped due to outdated infrastructure, war damage, and insufficient capital.

The timing of the deal coincides with Trump’s evolving Russia policy. American and Russian officials recently met in Istanbul for peace talks, with Russian President Vladimir Putin welcoming American companies to extract minerals from both Russia and territories seized from Ukraine. The formalization of the agreement is expected during Zelenskyy’s upcoming visit to Washington, although Ukrainian officials have yet to confirm the trip.

In conclusion, the Washington and Kyiv minerals pact represents a significant step towards economic cooperation between the two nations. As negotiations continue, both sides are working to address key concerns and ensure a mutually beneficial agreement. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
