Agreement Kyiv-Washington: Selenskyj also classifies raw material agreements as historical

After the White House, the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj also classified the raw material agreement between the USA and its country as historical. It was the first result of his bilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump on the edge of the funeral celebrations for the late Pope Francis in Rome a few days ago, said Selenskyj in his evening video address. The agreement will soon be ratified by the Ukrainian parliament.

With the raw material agreement, Ukraine gives the United States access to valuable mineral resources in order to keep the superpower as an ally against Russian aggression. The agreement was negotiated for weeks and argued about the possible sale of the war -plagued Ukraine – an agreement is now signed. The negotiations were sometimes difficult, but the result is now convincing, said Selenskyj.

“Now it is a really equivalent agreement that creates the possibility of investing in Ukraine – to a large extent – and also for a significant modernization of production in Ukraine and – no less important – for modernizing legal practice in our country,” said Selenskyj. “This is a collaboration with America and on fair conditions if both the Ukrainian state and the United States, which help us with our defense, can earn money in partnership.”
