Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna says it and the US are close to concluding a deal that would see the US get a share of Ukraine’s mineral resources. The deal is seen as a vital part of US President Donald Trump’s plans to broker a ceasefire agreement in regard to Russia’s three-year war against Ukraine. It is understood that the US will commit to a "free, sovereign and secure" Ukraine and a "lasting peace" as part of the deal, and that the US will state that anyone who acted adversely against Ukraine during the conflict should not derive any benefit from its reconstruction.
