Kiev and Washington have agreed that the US' aid to Ukraine will not be brought up in the US-Ukrainian rare earths deal as a debt obligation, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said after a meeting with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
"Important meeting with S Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, during which we discussed an agreement between our countries ... There is a good progress ... Agreements have been reached that the document will not account for the US aid provided prior to its signing," Shmyhal said on Telegram.
The Ukrainian side has drawn "red lines" of the deal, including that it be in line with European commitments, not contradict the constitution and legislation of Ukraine, and be ratified by the Ukrainian parliament, he added.
Ukraine already has confirmed $50 billion derived from profits from Russia's frozen assets, the prime minster also said.
"In addition to its confiscation, it was proposed to introduce a special duty on imports of Russian goods, the proceeds of which would be directed to the Ukrainian reconstruction fund," Shmyhal added.
On April 17, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Yuliia Svyrydenko said that the US and Ukraine have signed a memorandum confirming their intention to finalize and conclude an agreement on rare earth minerals.

Zelensky will deny and renege in 3...2...1...
Yup, I am expecting the same thing.
Donald has something in mind...I can hear the wrrrrr of the wheels.
So we’re trying to buy off the nazi- nationalists controlling Zelensky for basically writing off over $200 Billion US taxpayer dollars poured into the hands
of their oligarchs?
Even that will not bring a permanent settlement.
Lol!
President Trump is a genius! He convinced the Ukes that their uundeveloped rare earths are actually worth something and to give concessions accordingly.
And Zeke will renege on this “deal” too
Ukraine is kicking the can down the road. Zelinski and his facist clique will be in England long after Russian Elections in Kiev.
In the meantime, Ukraine’s current govt will be on the hook for repayment of US AID.
Not to be missing, all the USG financial partners in Ukraine have been handed the first 11 BTC ETFs. Sixteen months later, these giants like Lynch, Blackrock, etc., have stacked BTC. Even Vanguard has finally publically disclosed their entrance into BTC. CiTiBank is leading the news in becoming a validator of crypto currency.
BTC will the be the financial tool that covers the writeoffs in Ukraine. Even Trump can dump Ukraine, but hold this Zelinski government whose future is in exile in Europe hostage for the USAid. The US has no more committment to Ukrainian land lost in the war. Trump will deal with whoever has the resources.
The EUropeans must demand Ukrainian lands not be recognized as Russian assets or they will have to write them off. This is scum manage to live on in exile, because that government represents the IOUs for the losing side in conflict.
I think France, Britian and the rest of the EU finally recognize the Hamilton Wilson Tariffs are coming back. The Free Market debased currencies and killed living wages.
Trump is going to use the US lead in BTC Acquisition to fuel American dominance backed with all other levers of power. Gold and Silver will be behind BTC.
Once people realize the Trump plan not only upends gold but entire Central Governments.
American’s have 200 days in Gold to transition into BTC. Jerome Powell and Whitcoff will implement the financial and diplomatic roadway.
The restructure of Ukrainian debt is not a major priority once you realize simply, dumping the pumping of Ukriane, does more damage to those politically against Trump and the effect is long lasting.
No One can understand the significance of the US Pivot away from Ukraine and the pivot to BTC. If you have a crypto wallet you are bad news for the banks. Trump’s liberation is not simply Tariffs or ending the “Biden Tax called Ukraine monetary Drain”.
Breaking news/November 15, 2028: Ukraine officials say the country will sign a rare earths before President-elect Vance takes office, refuses to acknowledge Odessa and Kharkov oblast as Russian Federation territory.
Zelinski represents some sort of debit-credit entry for the Bank of England, and the EU Central Banks. His government will continue to recoginzed long after his death on the banking ledgers in EUrope.
Shold the EUropean banks write off Ukrainian assets, they would become insolvent coupled with their current ecnomic slide into Recession.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was true and all talk of a deal with us is just a way to keep support from us coming in.
In other words, Zelensky has already secretly sold Ukraine's natural resources to the Europeans.
Ukraine gets mandatory repayable billion dollar loans from Europe and at the same time gets free billion dollar aid from the USA.
What a racket. /spit
They little pervert signed a long term deal with the brits three or four days before Trump was sworn in.
Agree. I don’t trust that corrupt, greedy little punk.
He’s Biden/Obama/Pelosi et al’s little buddy. He’s no friend of ours.
