💨 Abstract

The United States and Ukraine have signed a minerals deal, granting the US preferential access to new mineral deals in Ukraine and funding for its reconstruction. This deal, according to senior Russian security official Dmitry Medvedev, means Ukraine will pay for future US military aid with mineral resources. Medvedev claims this deal makes it harder for Russia to achieve its goals in Ukraine through peace talks as the US is now seen as a co-owner of Ukraine.
