Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine is not ready to recognise the US military aid provided in recent years as a debt within the framework of the mineral resources agreement with the United States.
Source: Zelenskyy at a press briefing on Friday 28 March, as reported by European Pravda.
Details: The president noted that the key compromises with the American side were outlined in a framework agreement, which failed to be signed at the end of February.
At that time, it was ruled out that Ukraine would repay the United States for the aid provided since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, he made it clear that Ukraine is ready to reimburse the United States for future assistance if the Trump administration provides it.
"If there are any prospects, new support, new packages of support, then the US can certainly set certain conditions.
The draft of the large agreement specifies that Ukraine would be obligated to reimburse the US for all assistance – including budgetary, military and humanitarian aid – provided since the start of Russia’s full-scale war. »
