United States claims Ukraine opted to "revise" terms of mineral agreement
Scott Bessent, a key figure in the U.S. administration, has casually dropped a bombshell. During a recent gathering of the US Cabinet, he hinted at the Ukrainian side making last-minute edits to the mineral deal agreement, set to be inked soon.
According to European Pravda, Bessent has expressed readiness to sign the mineral deal, provided the Ukrainians reconsider their sudden alterations. He insists that the agreement remains the same as what was agreed upon over the weekend, with no modifications on the American side.
This surprising turn of events follows Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal's earlier statement that the framework minerals agreement with the U.S. could be signed within 24 hours. However, rumors of last-minute disagreements between Kyiv and Washington have been circulating, as reported by Financial Times.

The search results do, however, bring up a new agreement revolving around the sharing of future revenue from Ukraine's mineral reserves through a jointly managed fund, but there's no specific mention connecting Bessent and the last-minute changes by Ukraine.
This revelation adds a intriguing twist to the already heated geopolitical landscape. For more detailed information, one might need to consult official statements from relevant parties or media reports directly referencing Scott Bessent and the last-minute changes.
