Overview
- The deal creates a 50/50 Reconstruction Investment Fund, financed by future US aid and half of Ukraine's royalties from new mineral permits.
- Ukraine retains full sovereignty over its subsoil and extraction decisions, with fund profits reinvested exclusively in its recovery.
- The US secures preferential, but not exclusive, access to new mineral permits, excluding existing contracts and gas infrastructure.
- Ukraine is not required to repay past US military aid; only future assistance counts as contributions to the joint fund.
- The agreement reflects a strategic shift in US-Ukraine relations, focusing on economic partnership after the end of direct military aid.
