On April 30, 2025, Ukraine and the United States formalized a "reconstruction investment" agreement, allowing the US access to Ukrainian natural resources. This deal aims to bolster Ukraine's economic recovery and emphasizes collaboration between the two nations. Although planned for weeks, the agreement was delayed due to a clash between President Trump and President Zelenskyy. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that this partnership underscores a commitment to establishing a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine, reflecting a long-term goal of peace amid ongoing conflicts.
This agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump Administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term.
The US said 'positions our two countries to work collaboratively and invest together to ensure that our mutual assets, talents, and capabilities can accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery.'
