Ukraine to sign U.S. mineral resources deal, securing military aid and strategic materials.

Ukraine is set to sign a significant mineral resources agreement with the U.S. in Washington, crucial for securing future U.S. military aid. The deal will provide the U.S. access to over 20 strategic raw materials, including titanium, uranium, lithium, graphite, and manganese. The Ukrainian cabinet will approve the agreement before it is signed by a government representative, with further ratification needed in the Ukrainian parliament. The deal aims to mend ties between the two countries and support Ukraine's reconstruction efforts.
