THE United States has excluded provisions on security guarantees, such as continuation of providing military aid to Ukraine, from the text of the rare minerals deal, The New York Times reported on Thursday, citing an unnamed former US official familiar with the matter.
Washington reportedly rejected this provision at an early stage of its work on the deal’s text.
The US Treasury Department earlier said Washington and Kyiv signed an agreement to establish the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, which, according to the Ukrainian government, is part of a broader minerals deal between the two countries. — SPUTNIK
