The subsoil is being lynched: what will the negotiations between the United States and Ukraine on the resource deal lead to?

Delegation from Kiev goes to Washington

On April 4, Bessent expressed hope that the resource deal with Ukraine would be signed. According to him, the United States considers the conclusion of an agreement with Kiev as a situation of mutual benefit.

The Wall Street Journal reported on March 29 that Ukraine would not be able to accept the new terms of the resource deal with the United States. According to the publication, under the new agreement, Washington will not only have access to Ukraine's rare earth metals, but will also be able to benefit from Kiev's economic projects in the field of metals, oil, gas and other natural resources.

The next day, US President Donald Trump announced that his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky wanted to abandon the deal on critically important mineral resources.
