A recent agreement between Ukraine and the US marks a significant diplomatic achievement, strengthening ties that had been deteriorating. While the deal focuses on economic cooperation, particularly in Ukraine’s mineral wealth, it lacks explicit guarantees of continued military support, raising doubts about its impact on achieving peace. The agreement’s vague terms and the pressing situation on the battlefield highlight the precariousness of Ukraine’s reliance on US support, especially with Trump’s administration potentially viewing the conflict as a burdensome issue.
