Fasken has assembled a panel of experts for a discussion on this historic deal. After many months of negotiations, an agreement was signed on April 30 allowing the United States special access to projects involving Ukraine's lithium, titanium, and other critical minerals. These resources are considered critical to global supply chains for the defense, aerospace, and green energy industries.
Ukraine and the U.S. signed two additional agreements on May 13 to formally launch a joint Reconstruction Investment Fund as part of the deal. The move follows Ukraine's ratification of the minerals agreement earlier that week, as well as President Zelensky's signing of the ratified deal. The documents concerning the establishment and operation of the fund have been signed between Ukraine's Public-Private Partnerships Agency and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, a key agency of the U.S. government for foreign investment.
