U.S.-Ukraine Critical Minerals Agreement: What You Need to Know

In this video, we break down the newly announced U.S.-Ukraine agreement to establish the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund. This landmark initiative is aimed at financing the extraction and processing of Ukraine’s critical minerals, including lithium, titanium, rare earth elements, graphite, oil, and natural gas. The agreement outlines a 50/50 revenue-sharing model from newly issued licenses—without placing Ukraine in debt—and guarantees full Ukrainian sovereignty over its natural resources.
We also explore the broader strategic implications: the locking-in of long-term U.S. support, embedded military aid, and how this deal fits into a wider geopolitical context involving the UK and NATO allies. While the battlefield remains unstable, and many deposits lie in contested areas, this fund signals a major pivot in Western engagement with Ukraine.
