💨 Abstract

The US and Ukraine have agreed to a deal that grants the US preferential access to new Ukrainian minerals, setting up a joint investment fund for Ukraine's reconstruction. The deal is seen as a strategic move by the US to negotiate with Russia from a stronger position. The agreement is yet to be approved by the Ukrainian parliament. The deal has been criticized by some Russian officials, who view it as a sign of Ukrainian dependence on the US.
