Leaked Draft Deal: U.S. to Claim 50% of Ukraine’s Resource Revenues for Reconstruction Aid

A leaked draft agreement shows the U.S. securing 50% of Ukraine’s mineral, oil, gas, and infrastructure revenues in exchange for post-war financial support.

The deal, centered around a “Reconstruction Investment Fund,” would give the U.S. control over Ukraine’s resource licensing and long-term economic influence.

Key Terms of the Agreement

— The U.S. government (USG) commits to long-term financial investment in Ukraine’s stability and reconstruction.

— Ukraine (GOU) must allocate 50% of all revenues from resource extraction licenses to the U.S., effectively granting Washington a financial stake in Ukraine’s economy.

— The Reconstruction Investment Fund will have exclusive authority over how Ukraine issues and manages resource licenses.

— The U.S. will have a “right of first refusal” to purchase any exportable minerals before Ukraine can sell them elsewhere.

— Ukraine must waive sovereign immunity, meaning the U.S. can legally seize Ukrainian assets if Ukraine fails to meet its financial obligations.

— The agreement classifies Ukraine’s resource deals as commercial transactions, making them subject to U.S. and international arbitration.

— The U.S. gains full audit rights over Ukraine’s financial books related to the Reconstruction Fund.

— Ukraine must provide monthly financial reports to the U.S. and appoint an independent auditor, paid by Ukraine.

— The agreement does not specify an expiration date, meaning U.S. financial interests in Ukraine’s resources could remain indefinitely.

“The agreement is not ready to protect us, our interests.”
