Kyiv ready to sign resources deal with US, Ukraine government source says

KYIV, Apr 30: Ukraine is ready to sign a mineral resources deal with the United States and could do so later on Wednesday, a Ukrainian government source told Reuters.

"I think maybe late evening Kyiv time, the deal there can be signed," the source said.

Ukrainian officials hope that signing the deal promoted by U.S. President Donald Trump will help to firm up softening American support for Kyiv in the war triggered by Russia's full-scale invasion more than three years ago.
First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko was travelling to the United States to sign the agreement, the Ukrainian government source added. �"REUTERS
