While details remain to be finalised, Zelenskyy may have have secured a better agreement than first seemed likely
There is cautious optimism in Kyiv over the terms of the long-discussed US-Ukraine minerals deal, signed on Wednesday, which appear to be more advantageous for Ukraine than most had expected.
Many details are still to be finalised and will be written into a yet-to-be signed further technical agreement, suggesting that the long saga over the deal may not be quite over. But Ukrainian analysts noted that Kyiv has apparently been able to extract some major concessions, despite Donald Trump’s repeated claim that Ukraine “has no cards” to play.
