Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has confirmed that Ukraine has its own “red lines” concerning the details of the agreement with the United States on access to Ukrainian minerals and outlined three such points.

Quote: “We really have some red lines. First of all, this is our Constitution. Second, this is our European aspirations and our European obligations… International legislation. We also understand that it should be a partnership agreement – on equal conditions for both sides.”
Details: Shmyhal noted that Ukraine is currently forming a technical delegation and cooperating with international law firms.
Quote: “We will send our delegation together with our lawyer to the US at the end of this week. And I think that technical negotiations will go through this weekend and next week, then we will see the results… We are quite optimistic.”
