US Treasury Secretary: US-Ukraine Resource Agreement May Be Signed This Week
Treasury Secretary of the United States, Basente, stated that the US-Ukraine resource agreement may be signed this week.
In an interview with Bloomberg, when commenting on the US-Ukraine negotiations, Basente said: "It will be soon, perhaps this week."
According to Bloomberg reports, Basente stated that at the negotiation last weekend, Ukraine put forward its own agreement requirements, and the negotiations will continue.
Reuters previously reported, citing unnamed sources, that the negotiation between the US and Ukrainian delegations in Washington about the mineral resources agreement was carried out in a "confrontational" atmosphere, and the possibility of "breakthrough" was very low.
Yuliya Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine responsible for European and European-Atlantic integration, stated on April 14 that Kiev and Washington have reached several agreements on the use of Ukrainian resources, but further negotiations are still needed to sign the agreement.
