Prime Minister of Ukraine: No parliamentary approval is needed for subsequent technical documents of the Ukraine-U.S. mineral agreement.

On May 2, Jin10 reported that on May 2 local time, Ukrainian Prime Minister Shmyhal stated that the subsequent technical documents regarding the establishment of the Ukraine-U.S. Reconstruction Investment Fund (i.e., the Ukraine-U.S. Mineral Agreement) will not fall under the intergovernmental level, but rather under the inter-agency level. These subsequent agreements will be of an implementation nature (commercial or executive agreements) and will be signed by Ukrainian agencies and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), thus not requiring parliamentary approval. He stated that the relevant documents are ready and are expected to be signed shortly after the Ukrainian Parliament approves the Mineral Agreement.
