US signed minerals deal with Ukraine ‚to be protected,‘ Trump says
Future military assistance from the U.S. could count as contributions to the newly established joint investment fund, but prior aid will not.
Pre-existing projects, such as those owned by Ukraine‘s state-owned companies, will not be impacted by the minerals deal.
„Revenues from projects already launched or budgeted revenues are not included in the Fund. The agreement refers to further strategic cooperation,“ First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said.

Revenues from already launched projects or budgeted income will not be included in the Fund,“ Svyrydenko wrote in a Facebook post.
