Kyiv prefers to finalize the minerals agreement in the presence of both Trump and Zelensky, Bloomberg reports.

The proposal does not include any security guarantees that Ukraine has requested regarding potential future Russian aggression, according to The New York Times.

Not 50%, but 100% of Ukraine’s resources may go to the U.S.

The revised agreement is far tougher than the first draft, with Trump’s team pushing it aggressively.

Ukraine received the new version on February 21. It covers not just minerals but also oil and gas, with revenues going into a special fund.

The U.S. would own 100% of the fund, while Ukraine contributes two-thirds from resource revenues. The U.S. counts its third as past military aid, without adding new funds.

The fund is set at $500 billion, with no security guarantees or U.S. investment commitments. Ukraine seeks changes to ensure funds are reinvested locally.

Sources suggest Kyiv may have to sign soon to unlock peace negotiations.
