Ukraine ready to sign minerals deal with US on April 30: Report

Ukraine is ready to sign the minerals deal with the US as early as April 30, the Kyiv Independent reports citing a source in the President's Office. The report adds that the agreement excludes any provisions related to Ukraine's debt for prior US military or financial assistance, the source said. Earlier, at the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskyy said that he did not permit his ministers to sign a mineral resource agreement with the US because the current version is not “ready to protect us, our interests.”
