Kyiv and Washington have preliminarily agreed on revenue sharing related to Ukraine's resources, particularly rare earth metals, amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia. The agreement grants the US access to essential rare earth elements crucial for technology, although uncertainties persist regarding the presence of these deposits in Ukraine. President Donald Trump mentioned Ukraine's commitment to granting access to rare earths in exchange for wartime assistance. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has indicated willingness to explore mining partnerships during discussions about the agreement earlier this month.
