Ukrainian newspaper: The US has rejected all Kiev reforms on the rare mineral agreement

On February 3, US President Donald Trump said that the United States expects Ukraine to be provided to the United States in exchange for financial and military aid provided by Washington during the war.

The Washington Post also quoted members of the US Congress as saying that US negotiators have offered him to sign a document that has not yet extracted the salaries of 5 % of Ukrainian mineral resources that have not yet been extracted. To move. On Saturday, Zelnski said he refused to sign Washington’s access to mineral resources in Ukraine, as the proposed document is “not independent in Ukraine’s interest.”

Now, the Ukrainian newspaper wrote that despite Ukraine’s attempt to reconcile, the United States insisted that Kiev either accepts the initial conditions or not sign the agreement at all. Even beyond Trump’s remarks on scarce earth metals, it was reported that the draft agreement aimed to ensure the United States control over a wider range of Ukrainian sources, including lithium, oil and gas.

On the same day, the telegraph newspaper reported that the provisions of the agreement were worse than the financial restrictions imposed on Germany and Japan after their defeat in World War II.

According to the draft of the agreement, observed by the Ukrainian newspaper, “economic values ​​related to Ukraine sources”, including “mineral resources, oil and gas resources, ports and other infrastructure” included, and the deal “should be regarded as no conflict principles. The rules are governed by New York law. “

The report said that the United States and Ukraine will also create a reconstruction investment fund to ensure that “hostile parties will not benefit from Ukraine’s reconstruction.”

The Ukrainian newspaper reported that the fund will have a “exclusive right to determine the method, selection criteria, terms and conditions” of all future licenses and projects.

Earlier on Monday, RBC-Ukraine also quoted Ukrainian sources as saying that the United States had asked Ukraine to sign the agreement as a prerequisite for Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelnski with US Vice President JD Venus in Munich. But later he abandoned it.
