Zelensky explains the advantages Ukraine derives from a resource arrangement with the U.S.
Getting In On the Action: The U.S.-Ukraine Partnership for Rare Earth Metal Extraction
Vladimir Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader, recently announced that the joint American fund, established through the U.S.-Ukraine agreement on rare earth metal extraction, is all about reinvestment. This investment won't see any money leaving Ukraine, and in 20 years, Kyiv will have the freedom to utilize the funds from the fund.
According to Zelensky, the idea behind this reinvestment strategy is simple: the cash flows in, and it's used to boost Ukraine's economy. Only after 20 years, if the fund is running smoothly with the sales and other operations kicking into gear, might there be a possibility of profits. Everyone stands to gain, he said.
Interestingly, the operational details of this joint Ukrainian-American fund remain a bit blurry. Documents published by the Ukrainian government don't appear to impose any time restrictions on the U.S. withdrawing funds from the fund.
On April 30, Washington and Kyiv signed this very agreement. The deal includes the establishment of an Investment Fund, which will play a crucial role in supporting joint Ukrainian-American projects in the extraction sector. For more details, check out the article on Gazeta.Ru.
Before this agreement, Zelensky had made it clear that he'd slap sanctions on Ukrainian parties that wouldn't back the deal with the U.S.
Now, a bit more about the specifics of the operation of this Fund. The Ukrainian-American Reconstruction Investment Fund, as outlined in the April 30 agreement, is designed to invest in key areas like rare earth minerals, oil, and gas in Ukraine. The profits generated will be shared evenly between the two countries. While operational details aren't outlined in great depth, the agreement indicates a commitment to swiftly operationalize this economic partnership, bringing investments to Ukraine's economy, and potentially strengthening Ukraine's security through U.S. involvement. The agreement can be viewed as a strategic move to build a stronger economic relationship between the U.S. and Ukraine, perhaps even serving as a partial security guarantee by securing U.S. investments in Ukraine.
