OR Ukraine and the USA signed additional agreements on the agreement on the mineralsa key requirement by US President Donald Trump, which is vital to maintaining military aid to Kiev.

This move brings the two countries closer to the finalization of a significant distribution of profits with the aim of securing US investment opportunities in Ukraine.

According to the Bloomberg agency, two documents were signed today describing the operation of an investment fund jointly founded by Kiev and Washington, the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance’s press office told Kiev.

The investment fund is provided for the mineral agreement itself, which was ratified by the Ukrainian parliament last week. The agreement obliges Ukraine to replenish this fund using a share of taxes from new mining licenses and other payments. The US can contribute through financial investment or by offering military assistance to Ukraine.

US interest in Ukraine’s natural resources is part of Trump’s attempt to quickly end Russia’s full -scale invasion of Ukraine, launched by Moscow in 2022.

On Thursday, representatives from Kiev, Washington and Moscow are expected to meet in Istanbul for peace talks. However, the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin remains uncertain.
