Ukraine's prime minister told parliament on Friday that two of the three documents related to a minerals deal with the United States would not need to be ratified, lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak wrote on Telegram.

Secretary Rubio said the agreement is "a milestone in our shared prosperity and an important step in ending this war."

After months of tense negotiations, the U.S. and Ukraine have signed a deal that is expected to give Washington access to the country’s critical minerals and other natural resources.
