Washington wants Kiev to agree to detailed provisions on the property and control of the joint investment fund, as well as the wider scale of the agreement that potentially cover US ownership of other economic assets, including Ukrainian nuclear power plants, two Ukrainian officials said.
This actually means a revision of the mineral agreement, which was developed a few days before Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy has publicly dispersed in the White House views.
Speaking at the White House on Thursday, Trump said the United States seeks to sign deals on rare earth metals and minerals around the world, but Ukraine is a special priority.
Ukrainian officials have expressed concern about the possible pressure from the US to agree on disadvantageous conditions in a wider agreement, especially after Washington has temporarily suspended the supply of weapons and exchange intelligence with Kiev early this month.
Trump and Zelensky during a telephone conversation this week “discussed Ukraine’s power supply and nuclear power plants.”
Zelensky said Financial Times during an online briefing for journalists on Wednesday, which discussed only one nuclear facility with Trump-the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, the largest in Europe.
The Trump administration insists that US economic investment in Ukraine is a sufficient security guarantee to prevent Russia’s new invasion after any ceasefire.
In February, Ukraine and the United States reached a framework agreement on joint development of Ukrainian minerals, including oil and gas.
Earlier, the agreement referred to potential $ 500 billion income from mineral production, but this mention was excluded. Also from the agreement were removed projects that already provide revenues from the State Budget of Ukraine.
The provision was added that the US “support Ukraine’s efforts to obtain safety guarantees required to establish a long peace.” Zelensky sought to get a clear guarantee of US security in exchange for the share of profits from Ukrainian natural resources.
However, the agreement that Kyiv considered satisfactory has not yet been signed, as the parties have difficult negotiations on broader economic and security issues, Ukrainian and US officials said.
“We are ready to sign it,” said a high -ranking official close to Zelensky. “It would be strange to ignore her.”
Two high -ranking Ukrainian officials involved in negotiations with the United States on the resources of Ukraine reported that the Trump administration has not yet introduced new conditions to Kiev.
“But I understand that they are working on a greater agreement,” said one of the officials, who, like others, spoke on the conditions of anonymity because of the sensitivity of negotiations.
The Ukrainian side sought to first discuss the minerals agreement before moving to other aspects of possible US investment.
