Ukraine and the United States of America have signed an agreement regarding minerals, under which Washington expresses its intention to help bring an end to the “brutal and senseless war.” This was reported by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

His statement emphasizes that the agreement serves as a clear signal to Russia: the Trump administration remains committed to a peace process aimed at creating a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine in the long term. This partnership aims not only at economic development but also at strengthening ties between the Ukrainian and American peoples.
“And to be clear, no state or individual that has funded or supplied the Russian war machine will be allowed to benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine,” the Treasury Secretary stressed.
Donald Trump also commented on this matter, noting that the American presence at the sites of Ukrainian natural resource development is necessary, as it “ensures that there will be no bad players nearby.” In Washington, both sides expressed hope for the swift implementation of this historic economic partnership.
