Ukraine updates: Details emerge on Washington, Kyiv deal DW 05/01/2025
Briefly

The newly signed economic partnership between Ukraine and the United States aims to enhance collaboration on natural resource investments, including access to rare earth minerals. This deal has been significantly altered to ensure Ukraine's EU accession remains viable. The partnership establishes a joint investment fund, where Ukraine contributes 50% of revenue from new natural resource licenses, with US assistance also counted as contributions. Both nations will share equal governance of the fund, promoting mutual economic benefits and supporting Ukraine's recovery amidst ongoing challenges.
"What Ukraine has to do is take 50% of the revenues that it collects from the licensing of new natural resource projects in the country and put them in the fund."
"The money in the fund would... be used for investing in Ukraine's rare mineral sector, and that revenue is meant to be split up equally between the two countries."
