Progress continues in discussions between Ukraine and the United States regarding a mineral resource agreement. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced positive developments in these talks, with plans for future meetings. 1 Earlier this month, BlockBeats reported on a draft proposal that outlined a new, broader agreement for sharing resources. 2 The U.S. has revised its initial proposal and now requires Ukraine to contribute all revenue generated from the use of natural resources managed by state-owned and private enterprises within Ukraine to a joint investment fund. This differs significantly from the prior proposals discussed during President Trump’s visit with Zelensky last month, marking a shift in strategy. 3 U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has been leading these negotiations on behalf of the U.S. government. Notably, the agreement does not address the U.S. ownership of Ukrainian nuclear power plants, a topic previously raised by President Trump. 4
