According to the newspaper:
USA and Ukraine agree on raw materials agreement
Apparently, Washington and Kiev have reached an agreement on the joint development of Ukrainian natural resources. The Ukrainians hope that this will lead to long-term support from the United States.

There was talk in the Ukrainian media of a joint fund that would manage the sales proceeds and be under the control of both states. A sale of fund shares could only take place with the prior consent of the other side, it was said. This fund would be used to partially compensate for the US support.

The Ukrainian side emphasized that much more favourable conditions had now been negotiated. However, the security guarantees demanded by Kiev are reportedly not mentioned in the text of the agreement.

Last week, Trump called the Ukrainian president a "dictator" and implied that Ukraine had started the war. Washington also emphasized that neither the Europeans nor the Ukrainians could sit at the negotiating table at the moment.
