Ukraine has agreed a crucial minerals deal with the US after the Trump administration dropped key demands.
Kyiv hopes the deal - which will see a fund established between the two countries as they jointly develop Ukraine’s mineral resources, according to the Financial Times - will boost its faltering relationship with Washington.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky plans to visit Washington on Friday to meet Mr Trump after the terms were agreed, according to Reuters.
The US dropped Donald Trump’s demand for $500 billion in potential revenue from Ukrainian resources, a condition which was rejected out-of-hand by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
