The Ukraine–United States Mineral Resources Agreement is an agreement between the United States and Ukraine establishing terms for joint investment in Ukraine's natural resources, including critical rare-earth elements, oil, and gas, as well as providing for reconstruction efforts.
On February 24, 2025,French President Emmanuel Macron met with Trump in the Oval Office on February 24, 2025, where they discussed the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Macron's approach included a truce, then a peace settlement to ensure that Ukraine has long-term security guarantees for Ukraine. In contrast, President Trump called for a ceasefire with the United States negotiating directly with Russia
On 25 February, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced that the two countries had reached a preliminary agreement to strengthen economic cooperation and attract investments for Ukraine's recovery from the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine during the Russo-Ukrainian War. U.S. President Donald Trump insisted on a resources agreement as a condition for continued U.S. support, framing it as a means for Ukraine to "pay back" the substantial U.S. aid provided during the conflict.
On February 27, Trump extended a series of sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine for one year.
A February 28, 2025, meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy in the White House failed to reach an agreement on the potential minerals deal that the two countries had considered.
On March 2nd, 2025 London Summit on Ukraine, hosted by United Kingdom. Participated with 16 Nations, EU and NATO chaired by Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom: The objective of the meeting was to create a "coalition of the willing" in Europe that would be able to present a peace plan for Ukraine. The stated aim of the initiative is to facilitate the peace negotiation attempts launched and mediated by the United States between Ukraine and Russia in February 2025, by helping to build up strong enough security guarantees for Ukraine to ensure that a potential reached ceasefire or peace deal would be lasting.
The agreement was signed on 30 April 2025 by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.
On 28 February 2025, Zelenskyy met at the White House in Washington with Trump and U.S. Vice President JD Vance, for a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office to sign the agreement. The meeting ended abruptly and the Resources Agreement was not signed.
According to The Guardian, on 2 March, Zelenskyy said that the "deal on minerals was now ready to be signed."
March 2nd, 2025, According to X, Ukraine President Zelenskyy had a productive meeting with the President of the Council of Ministers of Italy@GiorgiaMeloni to develop a joint action plan for ending the war with a just and lasting peace. No one other than Putin is interested in the continuation and quick return of the war. Therefore, it is important to maintain unity around Ukraine and strengthen our country's position in cooperation with our allies – the countries of Europe and the United States.
Towards the end of Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress on 4 March, Trump sent a message to Zelenskyy that the New York Times described as "conciliatory".

Ukraine–United States Mineral Resources Agreement
Bilateral Agreement Establishing Terms and Conditions for a Reconstruction Investment Fund and for working towards peace work.
A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND HISTORIC PARTNERSHIP:
Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, the US and Ukraine entered
into a historic agreement on April 30, launching a first-of-its-kind
partnership for the reconstruction and long-term economic success of Ukraine.
From
start to finish, this agreement is a fully collaborative partnership
between our nations, that both the United States and Ukraine will benefit
from.
This
partnership represents the United States taking an economic stake in
securing a free, peaceful, and sovereign future for Ukraine.
This
agreement will also strengthen the strategic partnership between the
United States and Ukraine for long-term reconstruction and modernization,
in response to the large-scale destruction caused by Russia’s full-scale
invasion.
The
Treasury Department and the U.S. International Development Finance
Corporation (DFC) will work together with the Government of Ukraine to
finalize governance and advance this important partnership.
The
United States’ DFC will work together with Ukraine’s State Organization
Agency on Support Public-Private Partnership, both of which are backed by
the full faith and credit of their respective nations.
LONG TERM RETURNS FOR BOTH COUNTRIES:
President Trump envisioned this partnership between the Americans and the
Ukrainians to show both sides’ commitment to lasting peace and prosperity in
Ukraine
This
partnership between the United States and Ukraine establishes a fund that
will receive 50% of royalties, license fees, and other similar payments
from natural resource projects in Ukraine.
That
money will be invested in new projects in Ukraine, which will generate
long term returns for both the American and Ukrainian peoples.
As
new projects are identified, resources in the fund can be quickly
allocated towards economic growth, job creation, and other key Ukrainian
development priorities.
Indirect
benefits will include a stronger private sector and more robust, lasting
infrastructure for Ukraine’s long-term success.
The
partnership will be controlled by a company with equal representation of
three Ukrainian and three American board members, who will work together
through a collaborative process to make decisions for allocation of fund
resources, such as investment and distributions.
The
partnership will also bring the highest levels of transparency and
accountability to ensure that the people of Ukraine and the United States
are able to enjoy the benefits of Ukraine’s reconstruction.
Natural
resource projects will include minerals, hydrocarbons, and related
infrastructure development.
If
the United States decides to acquire these resources for ourselves, we
will given first choice to either acquire them or designate the purchaser
of our choice.
Economic
security is national security, and this important safeguard prevents
critical resources from falling into the wrong hands.
Importantly,
this partnership sends a strong message to Russia – the United States has
skin in the game and is committed to Ukraine’s long-term success.
No state, company, or person who financed or supplied the
Russian war machine will be allowed to benefit from the reconstruction of
Ukraine, including participation in projects supported by fund resources.
Outcomes of the United States and Ukraine Expert Groups On the Black Sea
in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
March 23-25, 2025
In line with presidential-level discussions between
President Donald J. Trump and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the United
States facilitated bilateral technical-level talks with the Ukrainian
delegation March 23-25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Following those discussions:
The
United States and Ukraine have agreed to ensure safe navigation, eliminate
the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military
purposes in the Black Sea.
The
United States and Ukraine agreed that the United States remains committed
to helping achieve the exchange of prisoners of war, the release of
civilian detainees, and the return of forcibly transferred Ukrainian
children.
The
United States and Ukraine agreed to develop measures for implementing
President Trump’s and President Zelenskyy’s agreement to ban strikes
against energy facilities of Russia and Ukraine.
The
United States and Ukraine welcome the good offices of third countries with
a view toward supporting the implementation of the energy and maritime
agreements.
The
United States and Ukraine will continue working toward achieving a durable
and lasting peace.
The
United States reiterated to both sides President Donald J. Trump’s imperative
that the killing on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine conflict must stop,
as the necessary step toward achieving an enduring peace settlement. To that
end, the United States will continue facilitating negotiations between both
sides to achieve a peaceful resolution, in line with the agreements made in
Riyadh.
The United States expresses gratitude to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for
his leadership and hospitality in once again facilitating these important
discussions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Support
continues to roll in for the unwavering commitment of President Donald J. Trump
and Vice President Vance to the American people and the Trump Administration’s
relentless pursuit of peace.
Speaker Mike Johnson: “Thanks to President Trump – the days of America
being taken advantage of and disrespected are OVER. The death and destruction
of the Russian-provoked war needs to stop immediately, and only our American
President can put these two countries on a path to lasting peace. President
Zelenskyy needed to acknowledge that, and accept the extraordinary mineral
rights partnership proposal that President Trump put on the table. What we
witnessed in the Oval Office today was an American President putting America
first.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “The only person on the planet who is actively
trying to bring an end to this conflict is named Donald Trump, the President of
the United States.”
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz: “It’s not clear that Zelenskyy truly wants to
stop the fighting. He came in, even though he was warned not to, determined to
litigate all of that … This was the wrong approach, wrong time in history, and
definitely the wrong president to try to do this.”
Director of National Intelligence
Tulsi Gabbard: “Thank you @realDonaldTrump for
your unwavering leadership in standing up for the interests of the American
people, and peace. What you said is absolutely true: Zelensky has been trying
to drag the United States into a nuclear war with Russia/WW3 for years now, and
no one has called him on it. Thank you, Vice President @JDVance for speaking
out so forcefully and clearly, about the necessity of diplomacy.”
UN Ambassador-designate Elise
Stefanik: “President Trump will ALWAYS
stand up for the American people – especially in the Oval Office. Peace through
strength is back on the world stage because of President Trump’s bold and
strong leadership.”
Sen. Eric
Schmitt:
“Zelensky was probably used to talking this way to American leaders.
Apparently, no one told him that things have changed. The age of America Last
foreign policy is over. From this day forward, it’s going to be only America
First.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham: “I have never been more proud of
the president. I was very proud of JD Vance, standing up for our country.”
CNN’s Scott Jennings: “All Zelenskyy had to do today was put on a tie,
show up, smile, say thank you, sign the papers, and have lunch. That’s it — and
he couldn’t do that.”
Marc Thiessen: “There was no ambush. Z was set up for success.
All he had to do was not get into a public fight and sign the minerals
deal. Not hard. A lot of work went into making a successful moment
possible and he blew it and then refused to apologize.”
Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller: “The way that President Trump defended Americans
after YEARS of being fleeced and abused and taken advantage of and taken for
granted — millions of American hearts swelled with overflowing pride today to
watch President Trump put Zelenskyy in his place.”
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “[Zelenskyy] refuses to recognize the practical
reality of this war. It has been going on for years, his countrymen are dying,
and the people who have been funding this effort — the American people — are
sick and tired of footing this bill.”
Rep. Victoria Spartz: “It’s such a disservice to the Ukrainian people
to play hero and politics and trying to increase his rating … Being so
insulting to the American people after how much was done by us for Ukraine and
for Europe, I can’t believe it.”
Rep. Kevin Hern: “President Trump is determined to end the war in
Ukraine. He is determined for the world to get back at peace, as it was when he
was in office before.”
President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance will
always stand up for the interests of the American people and those who respect
the United States’ position in the world — and will never allow the American
people to be taken advantage of.
President
Trump: “Let me tell you, you don’t have the cards. With us, you
have the cards — but without us, you don’t have any cards.”
More than half (52%) of
Ukrainians want a quick end to the war and believe Ukraine “should be open
to ceding some territory in exchange for peace,” according
to a November Gallup poll.
Since martial law was declared
in Ukraine, 1,000,050 Ukrainians have been drafted into
military service. In October 2024, Ukraine announced it would be drafting
another 160,000 — bringing the total number of conscripted Ukrainians to
1,160,050.
The average age of Ukrainian troops is 43
years old.
“Even if the West did come
through with all the weapons they have pledged, ‘we don’t have the men to
use them,’ one of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s close
aides told Time’s
Simon Shuster, revealing that the average age of a Ukrainian soldier has
already reached 43.”
One of Zelenskyy’s closest
aides told TIME
in 2023 that he is “[deluding] himself … We’re out of options. We’re not
winning. But try telling him that.”
The Ukrainian army is facing
rising desertions as “ill-trained and exhausted soldiers [go]
AWOL,” with the military further strained by struggles in recruiting and
the “arrests of respected and popular combat officers.”
Zelesnkyy himself has acknowledged that
the situation in Ukraine could lead to WWIII, and that without U.S. aid,
they would lose: “A third world war could start in Ukraine, continue in
Israel, and move on from there to Asia, and then explode somewhere else.”
President
Trump: “I gave you the javelins to take out all those tanks. Obama
gave you sheets.”
President Trump gave anti-tank
javelin missiles to Ukraine, while Obama gave non-lethal
aid only, including blankets.
EURACTIV: “Poroshenko
asks Obama for weapons, obtains blankets”
President Trump approved lethal
weapons sales to Ukraine in 2017: “The new arms include American-made
Javelin anti-tank missiles, U.S. officials said.”
President Trump approved a
$39 million sale of defensive lethal weapons to Ukraine in 2019: “The new
package will include Javelin anti-tank weapons, with one U.S. official
saying it includes 150 missiles and two launchers.”
Vice
President Vance: “You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the
opposition in October.”
Zelenskyy was called out
for campaigning against
President Trump in Pennsylvania.
“Zelenskyy was flown to
Pennsylvania in an Air Force C-17 plane.”
CLICK TO SEE MORE DETAIL OF Proclamation; Proclamation 10588 of May 31, 2023 (Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States); Proclamation 10771 of May 31, 2024 (Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States). In Proclamation 10783 of July 10, 2024 (Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States), President Biden noted that imports of steel articles from Mexico had increased significantly as compared to their levels at the time of Proclamation 9894. Accordingly, he implemented a melt and pour requirement for imports of steel articles that are products of Mexico and increased the section 232 duty rate for imports of steel articles and derivative steel articles that are products of Mexico that are melted and poured in a country other than Mexico, Canada, or the United States.
10. The Secretary has informed me of similar problems with respect to the temporary exemption for imports of steel articles and derivative steel articles from Ukraine.
Rather than supporting the Ukrainian steel industry and alleviating the economic harm caused by the ongoing conflict, the benefits of this temporary exemption have accrued primarily to producers in EU member countries, which have significantly increased duty-free exports to the U.S. market of steel articles processed from Ukrainian semi-finished steel. Since 2021, imports from Ukraine have remained steady at 0.5 percent of total U.S. imports, while imports from the European Union have increased 11.2 percent to 14.8 percent. As a result of the temporary exemption, these imports enter the U.S. market subject to neither the ad valorem tariff proclaimed in Proclamation 9705, nor the tariff-rate-quota system applicable to other imports of steel articles from EU producers as proclaimed in Proclamation 10328. This has facilitated evasion of both the section 232 measures and of antidumping duties that would be paid if the finished products were imported directly from Ukraine.
According to The White House Administration, The Trump Administration and expect to see a deal signed this week. President Trump and President Zalenski will meet this Friday, February 28th, 2025.
The negotiations still in work with Ukraine and Trump Administration in order to make Peace to reduce humanitarian issues which is to save human lives and the earth in order to keep less destruction.
Ukrain is securing a rare earth minerals agreement. If the negotiation is both agrees, strategy for peace between Ukraine and Russia. A partnership between Ukraine and the U.S. It will be a win-win situation.
Meantime, President Trump Administration is continuing to work for peace and stability in Gaza.

THE MINERAL RESOURCES OF UKRAINE
Ukraine is one of the leading countries of the world in a wide range of minerals. Although it covers only 0.4% of the Earth’s surface, contains about 5% of the world’s mineral resources. It ranks top-10 of the world for several raw materials (metallic and non-metallic) such as titanium, ball clays, Fe-Mn & Fe-Si-Mn alloys and gallium. Lithium, graphite or magnesium, among others, are also present in Ukraine. The abundance and diversity of minerals and metals is due to the complexity and variety of the Ukrainian geology.
The State Space Agency of Ukraine (SSAU; Ukrainian), romanized: Derzhavne kosmichne ahentstvo Ukrainy) is the Ukrainian government agency responsible for space policy and programs. It was formed on 29 February 1992, and was based on the Soviet space program infrastructure that remained in Ukraine following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It was called the National Space Agency of Ukraine (NSAU) until 9 December 2010.
The agency succeeded the Soviet space program along with the Russian Federal Space Agency, which inherited the biggest share. Dnipro, also known as Rocket City, was one of the Soviet space rocket manufacturing centers, while the cities of Kyiv and Kharkiv provided technological support. Those remnants of the Soviet program in Ukraine were reorganized into their own space agency. The SSAU does not specialize in crewed astronautical programs.
Ukrainian spacecraft include a few types for domestic and foreign use and international cooperation. Ukraine has supplied Russia with military satellites and their launch vehicles, a relationship unique in the world. The agency does not have its own spaceport. It used the resources of the Russian Federal Space Agency until 2014. Launches were conducted at Kazakhstan's Baikonur and Russia's Plesetsk Cosmodromes. After the Russian annexation of Crimea, launches were conducted on Sea Launch's floating platform, which was soon mothballed. SSAU has ground control and tracking facilities in Kyiv and a control center in Dunaivtsi (Khmelnytskyi Oblast). Facilities in Yevpatoria, Crimea, had to be abandoned with the 2014 Russian occupation of Crimea. Since the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014, the agency has been transitioning its cooperation efforts away from Russia, with participation in other space programs.
Along with the Ukrainian Defense Industry conglomerate and the Antonov Aeronautical Scientific-Technical Complex, the agency is a major state-owned component of the defense industry of Ukraine.
