The signed Ukrainian-American mineral agreement, which took place on Friday, has not yet led to actual extraction and profit. This agreement involves the creation of a joint reconstruction fund that will be used for reinvesting in Ukrainian mineral resources, energy, and infrastructure projects. However, details regarding U.S. involvement and logistics need to be clarified.
Ukraine has significant reserves of various minerals such as graphite, lithium, rare earth elements, uranium, etc. But the implementation of the agreement will face difficulties, particularly the lack of objective and up-to-date information about available resources and security risks. Furthermore, gaining access to raw materials does not guarantee reliable supply, as China is the main country controlling processing and purification.
The concluded agreement may help improve relations between President Trump and Zelensky, as well as increase U.S. interest in Ukraine. However, future development prospects are ambiguous and require further research.
