The US and Ukraine are negotiating a subsoil deal to utilize Ukraine’s natural resources, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not ready to sign the agreement due to “problematic issues” in its current version.
The deal is part of efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, and US and Ukrainian officials have been negotiating to reach an agreement, with US National Security Adviser stating that Zelenskyy would sign the deal soon, despite current disagreements over the draft’s unilateral commitments by Ukraine.
