💨 Abstract

The U.S. and Ukraine are expected to sign a framework agreement on Friday that outlines U.S. access to Ukrainian natural resources in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement, however, contains legal gaps and lacks specific commitments for defense guarantees from the U.S. The deal envisions the creation of a joint Reconstruction Investment Fund, with Ukraine contributing 50% of future monetization of its state-owned natural resource assets.
