No confirmed reports exist of a meeting in Rome involving Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop the Russia-Ukraine war. Recent news indicates Trump and Zelenskyy met one-on-one at the Vatican basilica on April 26, 2025, before Pope Francis’s funeral, aiming to revive ceasefire efforts. The White House called the meeting “very productive,” and Zelenskyy described it as potentially “historic.” However, Putin did not attend the funeral, and no trilateral meeting was reported. Trump expressed doubts about Putin’s willingness to end the war, citing recent Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian civilian areas, and suggested exploring sanctions. Earlier, Trump claimed a peace deal was “very close,” but Ukraine rejects proposals involving ceding Crimea. Market recovery claims linked to such a meeting are unverified and likely speculative.

On April 30, 2025, the United States and Ukraine signed a landmark minerals agreement designed to bolster Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction, attract global investment, and deepen strategic ties between the two nations.
Key Provisions of the Deal
Creation of a Joint Reconstruction Investment Fund: The agreement establishes a jointly owned and managed fund aimed at financing Ukraine's recovery and development of its natural resources sector.
Revenue Contributions: Ukraine will contribute 50% of future revenues from the monetization of its government-owned natural resources—including minerals, hydrocarbons, oil, and natural gas—to the fund. Notably, this excludes existing revenue sources already part of Ukraine's general budget.
Resource Ownership: Ukraine retains full ownership and control over its natural resources. The agreement explicitly states that resources will not be transferred to the U.S. or any other entity.
U.S. Contributions: The United States will support the fund through financial aid, military assistance (such as air defense systems), and efforts to attract global investment and technology to Ukraine's resource sector.
Strategic and Political Context
Shift from Initial Proposals: Earlier drafts of the agreement included contentious provisions, such as a U.S. demand for $500 billion in potential revenues and full U.S. control over the fund. These were removed in the final version after negotiations.
Security Guarantees: While Ukraine had sought explicit security guarantees as part of the deal, the final agreement does not include them. It only states that the U.S. "supports Ukraine's efforts to obtain the security assurances necessary to build a lasting peace."
Economic Significance: Ukraine possesses significant reserves of critical minerals, including titanium, lithium, and uranium. The development of these resources is seen as vital for Ukraine's economic recovery and for reducing global dependence on sources like China.
Next Steps
Ratification: The agreement requires approval by Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, to come into effect.
Fund Governance: Detailed terms regarding the governance and operation of the Reconstruction Investment Fund are to be negotiated in a subsequent agreement.
This minerals deal represents a significant step in U.S.-Ukraine relations, aiming to facilitate Ukraine's reconstruction and economic development while fostering closer strategic ties.
