Ukraine and the USA signed a memorandum confirming their intention to establish an agreement in the field of mineral resources, as reported by interfax.ru.
This was announced by Ukraine's First Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economy Yuliya Sviridenko. She described this document as an important step for economic partnership between the two countries.
According to Sviridenko, work is currently underway on the draft agreement, which will then be signed and ratified by the parliaments of both countries.
Previously, US President Donald Trump announced that this agreement would be signed on April 24. In the negotiations in March, the parties were unable to reach an agreement, and the dispute intensified.
