The US-Ukraine mining agreement is实质 turning into a shell? Kyiv still has control of resource ownership

Local time on April 30, US Treasury Secretary Bessent said that the mineral agreement reached between the United States and Ukraine shows Russia that the United States is committed in the long term to a peace process centered on an "independent sovereignty" Ukraine.

The key points of the agreement are as follows:

· The US side bans countries and individuals who have "financed" the Russian military-industrial complex from participating in the reconstruction of Ukraine;

· Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko emphasized that all resource ownership and control rights in Ukraine still belong to Kyiv;

· Both sides will jointly manage the Ukraine Natural Resources Investment Fund (without unilateral decision-making power);

· The management rights of state-owned enterprises such as the Ukrainian State Oil Company and the Energy Atom nuclear power operator remain unchanged;

· The US-Ukraine joint investment fund will only be funded through the revenue of new project licenses for critical minerals and oil and gas.

The United States made a big fuss, but it was just an empty shell. This is the so-called US-Ukraine mineral agreement that has been hyped up for so long.
