What’s Next for the U.S.-Ukraine Minerals Deal? | Mapping Minerals Diplomacy

The U.S.–Ukraine minerals partnership has become a critical pillar of Kyiv’s economic recovery strategy and Washington’s broader security agenda. Ukraine is home to some of Europe’s largest reserves of titanium, lithium, graphite, and uranium. In April 2025, the two governments launched a joint Reconstruction Investment Fund to mobilize capital for mining and infrastructure projects, signaling a long-term commitment to unlocking Ukraine’s resource potential.

In this discussion with Hon. Yegor Perelygin, Deputy Minister at Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy, we examine:

The latest developments on the US-Ukraine minerals deal

How Ukraine is advancing reforms to strengthen geological mapping and infrastructure development

Opportunities for deeper U.S.–Ukraine cooperation in the years ahead
