The United States and Ukraine have reached an agreement that will grant the US access to Ukraine’s natural resources. Finalized on Wednesday, the deal is part of Kyiv’s strategy to secure stronger support from President Donald Trump in its ceasefire talks with Russia.
On April 30, the two nations signed an accord establishing the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund. This economic alliance acknowledges the significant financial and material aid the US has provided to Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s full-scale invasion. The initiative aims to harness the combined assets, expertise, and strengths of both nations to accelerate Ukraine’s economic revival.
