Ukraine is preparing to sign a significant minerals agreement with the United States in Washington on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Ukrainian officials have expressed their intent to finalize the deal during Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko's visit to DC.
The Ukrainian Cabinet is expected to approve the agreement's final wording, which encompasses the main deal and related technical accords, before the meeting. Official confirmation from the White House regarding the agreement's formalization on Wednesday is still pending.
Despite the uncertainty, Ukrainian officials remain hopeful that the US side will not introduce any changes to the agreement. The agreement focuses on mineral resources and aims to strengthen cooperation between the two countries, potentially giving the US access to critical mineral deposits in Ukraine.
