U.S. Congressman Mike Waltz said on Friday he expects Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to sign a minerals agreement with the United States as part of efforts to end the conflict in Ukraine.
Waltz emphasized the significance of collaboration between the United States and Ukraine in the realm of mineral resources. He believes that such a partnership could boost Ukraine’s economy and aid in bringing peace to the region.
“An agreement on minerals could be a pivotal step toward ending the conflict,” Waltz said. “It would not only strengthen economic ties but also support Ukraine in its time of need.”
The proposed agreement is expected to focus on Ukraine’s vast deposits of critical minerals, which are essential for various industries, including technology and defense.
President Zelenskyy has not yet made an official statement regarding the potential deal.
The conflict in Ukraine has drawn international attention, and this potential agreement could mark a significant move toward resolving ongoing tensions.
