“The agreement has changed significantly during the training process. This is now a truly fair agreement, which creates opportunities for significant investments in Ukraine.”Zelenski said in his daily speech, according to AFP, quoted by Agerpres.
The US and Ukraine signed a large economic agreement on Washington on Wednesday in Washington, which creates an investment fund for the reconstruction of this country devastated by war and gives the Trump administration access to Ukrainian natural resources.
The agreement intervenes in parallel with multiple diplomatic negotiations in progress to find a conflict solution, three years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The text does not seem to include American security guarantees against Russia, which Ukraine requested and on which Volodimir Zelenski insisted.
“Investment Fund for the Reconstruction” of Ukraine
The same agreement provides for the creation of an “Investment fund for reconstruction“Ukraine, which will be funded and managed equally by Ukrainians and Americans.
The amount of Ukrainian mining resources remains unclear, largely not exploited, difficult to extract or de facto under the control of Russia, because they are found in the territories occupied by the Russian forces or threatened by their offensive.
