The discussion between Kiev and Washington on the Liquid Earth Agreement is ongoing, but the document currently contains a number of issues that require additional processing. The main stumbling stone is the lack of clear security guarantees for Ukraine. According to IZ with reference to the 24th channel, this problem was the reason for refusing to sign the first version of the agreement. According to sources in the President's office, the negotiations were held all night, but it is too early to speak about the final agreement of the document. Earlier, it became known that the primary text of the treaty laid only the obligations of Ukraine, without a clearly defined mechanism of interaction between the parties, which caused concern on the Ukrainian side.
According to Western media reports, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not yet ready to sign under the terms of the agreement proposed. Ukraine insists on the need to strengthen the contractual base, in particular on the protection of its economic and strategic interests. Sources report that negotiating groups on both sides try to find a compromise option that will suit all parties. Particular attention is paid to the issue of distribution of responsibilities and guarantees, which should consolidate the rights of Ukraine within the framework of future cooperation. There is currently no information about whether the document will be signed in the near future, since the reconciliation of individual parts is still ongoing. . Ukraine is interested in fair cooperation, while the United States seeks to access the key resources needed for high -tech production. However, the main discussions are around the balance sheet of obligations and benefits for both parties. Representatives of the President's Office confirm that the negotiations are ongoing and the final decision will be made only after all contradictory issues are resolved. >
