Ukrainian delegation to visit US on minerals deal to take place on April 11-12 - Bloomberg
On April 11-12, a Ukrainian delegation will visit the United States to negotiate a new draft agreement on minerals.
This is reported by Bloomberg, Censor.NET informs.
The interlocutors of the publication said that the delegation would include deputy ministers of economy and justice of Ukraine, but not high-level politicians, because negotiations with the administration of US President Donald Trump currently require technical advice.
According to them, Kyiv has also appointed an international law firm to advise on the negotiations.
At the end of March, US President Donald Trump said that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wanted to withdraw the rare earth metals agreement.
On March 23, Kyiv received a new draft agreement from the US side on control over Ukraine's critical mineral resources and energy assets. However, the United States does not offer Ukraine any security guarantees and is "aggressively expanding its previous demands."
Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko confirmed that Ukraine had received the new text of the agreement. According to her, the Ukrainian side is studying it and will try to reach a consensus with its American partners.
