Ukrainian and American teams are working on a new draft of the agreement on mineral resources.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this during a joint briefing with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
"As for this agreement, the new draft of this agreement, which our teams - Ukrainian and American - are working on, lawyers are currently involved. This can be discussed with our ministries' team because there are relevant legal firms, and a request needs to be made to them. A decision on which of these firms will be working on it, will be made in the coming days," Zelenskyy said.
The President clarified that the issue of NATO was not and had never been part of this agreement.
"As for the EU issue - we are linking it to this. This agreement cannot contradict our future in the EU. I will not talk about risks until the lawyers provide their resolution," he concluded.
