The Government of Ukraine sought to further strengthen its economic ties with the United States by giving the United States the opportunity for partnership and investment in Ukraine’s mineral wealth and other natural resources, as well as paving the way for the United States to work alongside Ukraine in engaging both private and public investors in Ukraine’s economic recovery.
Achieving this required careful legal structuring and cross-border coordination to ensure alignment with the United States, while advancing Ukraine’s long-term resource development objectives.
