  1. Ukraine has signed the outline of a deal that would give the US access to its mineral wealth and set up a reconstruction fund.

    Yulia Svyrydenko, the deputy prime minister, said the “memorandum of intent” paved the way for the long-awaited economic partnership agreement between the two countries.

    She posted photographs on X showing her signing the document in an online meeting with Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, on Thursday.

    The two sides had planned to sign a deal on Ukraine’s rare earth minerals in February during President Zelensky’s trip to the White House, before it was derailed by the angry clash between the US and Ukrainian leaders, and the US vice-president, JD Vance, in the Oval Office
