Zelenskyy says framework economic deal with U.S. is ready but security guarantees undecided

The Hindu  

A framework economic deal with the United States is ready, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday, but security guarantees that Kyiv views as vital remain to be decided and a full agreement could hinge on talks in Washington as early as Friday. The framework deal is a first step toward a comprehensive agreement that will be subject to ratification by Ukraine’s parliament, Mr. Zelenskyy said during a news conference in Kyiv. Earlier, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal confirmed that Ukraine and the United States have reached preliminary agreement on a broad economic deal that includes U.S. access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals amid its war with Russia. After days of negotiations, Ukraine and the U.S. will sign the preliminary agreement, but with further details of a full agreement — including U.S. security guarantees that Kyiv officials view as vital — still to be worked out, Mr. Shmyhal said on Ukrainian public television.
