Kyiv and Washington have signed a memorandum of intent to advance an investment fund agreement for Ukraine’s natural resources and energy assets, aiming for a full economic accord by April 26. Ukrainian officials, led by Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, view this as a constructive step following previous negotiations that faltered after a confrontation between Presidents Zelenskyy and Trump. While the proposal grants the US preferential access to Ukrainian resources, concerns remain about national sovereignty and the lack of security guarantees in the final deal.
