Negotiations are ongoing. Washington is advocating for an accord that would grant it access to the advantages of Ukrainian investment initiatives, especially in the mining and infrastructure domains.

The cash are to be deposited into a designated US-administered stimulus fund.

Ukraine is insisting on more advantageous terms and declines to see US military assistance as a liability.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated that the agreement may be signed as soon as this week.
