Ukraine and the United States have reached a pivotal agreement potentially worth a trillion dollars, focusing on access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals. The deal, expected to ensure sustained US military support to Ukraine, has been agreed upon by senior Ukrainian officials who chose to remain anonymous.
Plans are in motion for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to visit Washington to sign the agreement alongside US President Donald Trump. This comes amid ongoing discussions regarding military aid and other strategic alliances between the two nations.
Despite progress, security guarantees were absent from the current draft, though they're expected to be a topic of discussion during the presidential meeting. The agreement marks significant diplomatic progress following tense exchanges between Trump and Zelenskyy over investment terms and security provisions.
