- In Ukraine, new terms of the agreement with the United States on fossil fuels were revealed


The new draft agreement between Ukraine and the United States on minerals, submitted by Washington on March 23, affected all useful resources, including oil and gas, throughout the country. This was announced on March 27 by the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Yaroslav Zheleznyak with reference to the draft document, which was handed to him by representatives of the government.
He also noted that the agreement on the new US project has no deadline and no security guarantees. He added that the investment fund, to which Ukraine is obliged to transfer income from minerals, will be managed by a five-person board, three of which will be representatives of the United States "with full veto power."
According to the MP, the version of the document is not final.
"We are talking about all the minerals. There's both oil and gas. Both new and existing [minerals]. Throughout Ukraine. <...> I hope that the Ukrainian side will demand and achieve significant changes in it," he wrote on his Telegram channel.
Earlier in the day, Zheleznyak announced that Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk had closed the parliament session after an unsuccessful attempt by deputies to summon ministers to find out the details of the agreement with the United States on minerals.
US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky were supposed to conclude a deal on rare earth metals on February 28, but as a result of an altercation at the White House, the signing was canceled. On March 2, the head of the Kiev regime said he was still ready to sign the deal and hoped to save relations with the United States.
On March 26, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that Washington had already handed over a version of the document on economic cooperation to Kiev.
