New American Mineral Agreement renewed fears to follow the EU
By providing US companies in Ukraine, the proposed agreement on minerals is at risk of rivalry and the EU rules in the single market, which provides equal and fair access.
Kiev and Washington’s currently negotiated minerals will be closely examined to determine their applicable character with Ukraine’s candidature in Brussels, and the latest version of the speech renews the fear that the country’s aspirations can be obtained.
Candidate countries for the adhesion process must gradually connect with the EU law, in which the basic principles of loyal competition are and hostile.
“This agreement must be analyzed from the point of view of the relations between Ukraine and the European Union, in particular, we must be abducted on the basis of adhesion negotiations,” said Paula Binho, a group’s key spokesman.
Paula Binho warned that any decisions were “pure assumption” as the deal is still being discussed between Ukrainian and US officials. The European Commission is ready to provide “legal aid” if Kiev is requested.
“If there is no firm agreement with black and white letters, we cannot perform any evaluation, which allows you to evaluate the impact of different political angles,” the spokesman said.
One day after revealing the latest version of the Bloomberg and Financial Times White House contract, there are extensive regulations, which will allow the US to obtain unprecedented control over Ukraine’s natural resources through a joint investment fund.
According to the plan, the board of directors of the fund will have five members: three candidates and Ukraine appointed by Ukraine. In practice, it will provide an effective veto power to Washington for basic decisions on new natural infrastructure and resource projects. It seems that existing projects are not controlled.
Roads, railways, ports, mines, oil, gas and important minerals are all closed by the new structure.
According to Bloomberg, Ukraine will be required to provide all new projects below “soon”. If the plan is denied, Ukraine will prevent it from supplying it to other areas with the conditions “materially better”.
In addition, the United States will have the right to reap all the profits of the fund until the military and financial assistance provided to Ukraine is fully recovered.

The “revenge” model for Donald Trump’s motivation to sign the contract is raised by the allegations of exploitation and neoconialism.
“Conflict of interest”
Although Ukrainian employees have diluted the first plans given by the US in February, the latest version will bring back the strict rules of Ukraine and its allies, and the fear that the country’s aspirations will be at risk of being a member of the EU.
By granting the first -off -off -off -off rights to US companies, the agreement is directly in the “contradiction” with the unique market of the competition and the unique market of the constituency, which says that the European Political Analyst of the European Policy Center (EBC), regardless of the nationality and equivalent approach, regardless of the nationality, regardless of the nationality.
“There should be an open competition for all investors in the projects,” Taran told Euronevs. “In public tenders, EU companies and US companies must participate and compete in equal regulations,” he said. “I see the existence of interest.”
Taran believes that the contract will continue to be “acceptable” and that the weight of these concerns in the White House is not clear in the consultation of the EUS.

The lack of security guarantees is another point of contradiction in negotiations. The Trump administration has filed an agreement on minerals as a kind of economic dissatisfaction against future Russian occupations. However, Ukrainian President Volodimir Jelenski warned that Vladimir Putin would prioritize his expansion agenda for US interests.
Speaking on Thursday after a “interested coalition” meeting in Paris, Jelensky complained that the terms of the agreement “continued”, but promised that his group would be “constructive” in negotiations to avoid hostility and sharing information.
Jelensky told reporters, “I thought we had already raised a war deal, but as far as I know, Ukrainian and US teams are working on this agreement because the United States has changed the rules and proposes the agreement immediately (signing).”
