The idea is that the agreement will give the USA access to Ukrainian natural resources in exchange for support to Ukraine.
It is always important to strengthen the presence of American businesses in Ukraine, so the process is ongoing, and we are working with our American colleagues to get an agreement that both sides can accept and sign, says Sybiha at a press conference.
The two countries were supposed to sign a mineral agreement already last month, but President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to the White House went awry when a heated verbal exchange broke out between him, President Donald Trump, and Vice President JD Vance.
Last Sunday, Trump warned that Zelensky will get "big problems" if Kyiv rejects the latest American proposal for an agreement. No details from the proposal in question have been made public.
