Ukraine has sent the United States a request to amend the economic agreement proposed by the Trump administration, including an increase in American investment, APA reports citing Bloomberg.
In a video conference on March 28, Ukrainian officials discussed the details of the 60-page draft agreement with their American counterparts. The source noted that Washington did not dismiss Kiev's concerns that the agreement would hinder Ukraine's goals of joining the EU, which indicates a possible willingness of the United States to reconsider the terms.
According to the draft, the United States would receive control over infrastructure and mineral extraction in Ukraine without time limits. Kiev is worried that the agreement will not only complicate European integration, but also require the return of all military and economic assistance provided since the beginning of the conflict. Bloomberg recalls that Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously ruled out the possibility of military aid being counted as debt and confirmed that the agreement should not hinder the constitutional course towards joining the EU.
