Ukraine has received a fresh variant of the draft minerals agreement proposal from the US, signaling a significant change. Under the new proposition, Ukraine would have to grant the US access to its natural reserves in return for stepped-up military aid, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. However, Ukraine has not consented to the agreement yet and is currently under legal evaluation, as indicated by the president. According to Kethevane Gorjestani, the international affairs editor at France24, this amended deal appears to fuse elements from prior drafts but skews more in favor of the US compared to the initial version.
