Some Details on the Ukraine deal release by Ukraine

1. Full ownership and control remain with Ukraine.
All resources on our territory and in territorial waters belong to Ukraine.

It is the Ukrainian state that determines what and where to extract. Subsoil remains under Ukrainian ownership — this is clearly established in the Agreement.

2. Equal partnership.
The Fund is structured on a 50/50 basis. It will be jointly managed by Ukraine and the United States. Neither side will hold a dominant vote — a reflection of equal partnership between our two nations.

3. National assets are protected.
The Agreement does not alter privatization processes or the management of state-owned companies — they will remain Ukrainian. Companies such as Ukrnafta and Energoatom will stay in state ownership.

4. No debt.
The Agreement includes no provisions regarding any Ukrainian debt obligations to the United States. Its implementation allows both countries to expand their economic potential through equal cooperation and investment.

5. The Agreement complies with the Constitution and maintains Ukraine’s European integration course.
It is consistent with national legislation and does not conflict with any of Ukraine’s international obligations.

6. The Fund will be financed exclusively from NEW licenses.
Specifically, 50% of the revenues from new licenses in the field of critical materials, oil, and gas — generated after the Fund is created — will be directed to it.

7. Legislative changes will be limited and targeted.
Only amendments to the Budget Code are required for the Fund to operate. The Agreement itself will be submitted to the Verkhovna Rada for ratification.

8. The United States will help attract additional investment and technology.
The Fund is supported by the U.S. government through the DFC agency.

9. The Agreement provides tax guarantees.
Fund revenues and contributions will not be taxed in either the United States or Ukraine, ensuring maximum effectiveness of the investment process.
