An MP of the Verkhovna Rada from the Golos party, Yaroslav Zheleznyak, has said that the new draft agreement between the USA and Ukraine on resources includes all fossil fuels, including oil and gas.
‘Take an insider’s information about the minerals deal. I received this document yesterday from our officials. <…> It’s a straight up big and very clear deal. And it’s not in our direction. <…> We are talking about all fossils, that is, oil, gas, new and existing deposits throughout Ukraine,’ Yaroslav Zheleznyak wrote in his Telegram channel.
He also noted that this is not the final document, and expressed hope for a significant change in the terms of the agreement in favour of Ukraine.
We shall remind you that earlier US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the United States and Ukraine might sign an agreement on economic cooperation in the field of rare earth metals in the near future.
