Take into account the abandonment of nuclear weapons: which provides for a new Memorandum of Ukraine and the USA
The document refers to the creation of a joint investment fund for the restoration of Ukraine, which should stimulate the modernization of infrastructure, attract large -scale investments and form new opportunities for the Ukrainian economy. It is emphasized that the American people confirm their desire to invest together with the Ukrainian - in a stable, independent and safe Ukraine.
It is also noted that the United States recognizes Ukraine's historic contribution to global security - above all, a voluntary rejection of the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world. The document emphasizes that working on the agreement will not contradict Ukraine's integration processes to the EU or arrangements with international creditors. Negotive delegations are expected to provide progress by April 26, 2025. This term is defined as the extreme, after which the agreement will be signed.
In this regard, according to the signatures of the parties, the governments of Ukraine and the United States have agreed to sign this memorandum of intentions. The document fixes the common determination to immediately complete the preparation of the necessary materials for the conclusion of a full -fledged economic partnership agreement.
This initiative also envisages the creation of a special fund for attracting investments in Ukraine, which will become a symbol of partnership between two peoples. Next week in Washington Prime Minister Denis Shmigal should meet with US Finance Minister Scott Bessent to complete technical negotiations. The negotiation groups will be expected to present the final version of the document for signing by April 26.
The idea of a special agreement between Ukraine and its strategic partners was laid down in the Victory of President Vladimir Zelensky, which he presented to the public in October 2024. It is about cooperation in the field of critical natural resources - uranium, titanium, lithium, graphite and others. On February 12, 2025, the United States handed over the first project to Ukraine, but it lacked security provisions, which Ukraine disagreed with.
After a number of negotiations and public discussions, in particular between Zelensky and Donald Trump, the parties approached compromise. In April, another round of negotiations took place, after which the memorandum was finally signed - now the queue with the final agreement and ratification.
Recall that Ukraine and the US have made the next step to a strategic economic partnership - the parties have signed a memorandum that opens the way to the future agreement on joint work in the field of mineral production in Ukraine. This was reported by the first viceremer and head of the Ministry of Economy Yulia Sviridenko.
