Ukraine and the U.S. have set up an investment fund to share profits from the sale of Ukraine's critical minerals and raw materials.
NPR's Joanna Kikicis reports from Kiev.
The deal will give the White House incentives to keep investing in Ukraine's defense and reconstruction.
Ukraine's economy minister, Yulia Svitodenko, who led negotiations on the deal,
said revenue for the investment fund would come from new licenses for critical raw materials and natural resources.
Volodymyr Londov, the Center for Economic Strategy in Kiev,
said an earlier draft smacked of colonialism,
the signed deal, he says, does not obstruct Ukraine's path to the European Union.
and stipulates that the military and the financial assistance provided earlier will not be counted as debt.
The deal does not provide explicit security guarantees,
but the fund can be used to finance new military aid to Ukraine.
