on the 12th local time, the website of the President of Ukraine announced that President Zelensky had signed a law approving the establishment agreement of the "US-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund". On April 30, the United States and Ukraine jointly signed the "US-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund Establishment Agreement", also known as the "US-Ukraine Mineral Agreement" by various sectors. On May 8, the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) supported the approval of the agreement with 338 votes in favor. Although the signing of the mineral agreement between the US and Ukraine is seen as a signal of easing relations by the outside world, its actual effects remain to be observed. Some mineral consulting agencies analyze that developing key strategic minerals in mature mining countries may take 10 to 20 years, and there is currently insufficient data to prove the economic viability of developing most of Ukraine's mineral resources. In addition, the lack of clear prospects for the safety of infrastructure such as electricity and transportation damaged by the Russia-Ukraine conflict may lead investors to adopt a cautious attitude.
