The US-Ukraine investment fund, established under an intergovernmental minerals agreement, has closed its first minerals deal. Reuters reported this, citing Conor Coleman, the head of the investment division of the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC).
According to the agency, the fund was established following the signing of an agreement between Washington and Kyiv providing for the joint development of Ukraine's mineral resources. Details about the specific deposit, investment volumes, or parties to the deal were not disclosed in the Reuters report cited by Kommersant.
Coleman, representing the DFC—a US government agency that finances foreign investment projects—confirmed that the deal had been signed but provided no additional details about its terms. Decisions on how future mining revenues will be distributed between the American and Ukrainian sides were also not specified in available reports.
The US-Ukraine minerals agreement is seen as part of broader efforts to attract American investment into Ukraine's economy amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. The establishment of the joint fund was previously presented by both sides as a mechanism intended to bring Kyiv long-term economic benefits from the development of its mineral resources.
Further details about the deal, including its financial parameters and implementation timeline, are expected as the fund and the parties involved disclose more information about the project.
