The Kyiv Independent has obtained from a source in the Ukrainian government, the full text of the mineral deal agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine.

Summary

The U.S. and Ukraine signed a bilateral agreement on February 25, 2025, establishing a Reconstruction Investment Fund to finance Ukraine’s rebuilding efforts.

The deal acknowledges that the U.S. has provided significant financial and material support to Ukraine since “Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.”

It outlines joint management and investment in Ukrainian natural resources, with Ukraine contributing 50% of future revenue from minerals, oil, and gas.

A more detailed Fund Agreement will follow, requiring ratification by Ukraine’s parliament. U.S. officials stress negotiations are ongoing.

    I imagine it’s the terms the EU and UK were talking about yesterday. I also imagine the US would have something about 40% of the remaining 50% (20% of the total).
