The United States has officially entered into a minerals agreement with Ukraine, marking a significant development in the ongoing economic partnership between the two nations. This agreement, announced following a series of negotiations, will grant the U.S. access to Ukraine’s valuable reserves of rare earth minerals.

The U.S. Treasury Department released a statement outlining the broader scope of the agreement, revealing that the two countries have committed to establishing a “Reconstruction Investment Fund.” This collaborative financial mechanism aims to leverage “mutual assets, talents, and capabilities” to expedite Ukraine’s recovery efforts.

Yulia Svyrydenko, Ukraine’s First Deputy Prime Minister, publicly confirmed the agreement. She shared images from her recent visit to Washington D.C., which included a photograph of herself alongside U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and the negotiating teams from both countries.

In her accompanying post, Svyrydenko expressed optimism about the agreement’s potential, stating, “This document is capable of delivering success for both our countries � Ukraine and the United States.” She concluded her message with the phrases, “God bless Ukraine and God bless the United States of America.”

This deal signifies a deepening economic relationship between the U.S. and Ukraine, with the strategic importance of rare earth minerals being a key factor.
