泽连斯基总统办公室证实,美乌已达成协议。
过去一周,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普和泽连斯基因围绕该协议的谈判而关系紧张,全世界也对特朗普的漫天要价而为乌克兰打抱不平。
不过最新的协议显然对乌克兰更加公平,签署该协议将是乌克兰加强与美国关系的一种方式。 知情人士告诉彭博社,乌克兰内阁预计将于2月26日批准该协议。
特朗普在2月25日晚告诉记者,泽连斯基将于2月28日访问白宫参加协议签字仪式。 该协议的最终版本于2月24日发布,双方将设立了一个基金,乌克兰将向该基金贡献该国矿产资源“未来货币化”收益的50%。该基金将用于投资乌克兰境内的项目(而不是赔偿给美国)。 该协议不包括已经为乌克兰国家预算做出贡献的资源,这意味着它将不包括该国最大的石油和天然气生产商Naftogaz和Ukrnafta的营收。 该协议不包括基辅最初坚持的要求,即美国应提供安全保证。

当被问及乌克兰从该协议中得到了什么时,特朗普表示,乌克兰获得了“美国的军事装备和继续战斗的资本”。目前尚不清楚,“军事装备”是指美国此前提供的武器还是未来对基辅的军事援助。
特朗普表示,向基辅继续提供武器可能会“持续一段时间,也许直到美国与俄罗斯达成协议。

据乌克兰媒体《经济真理报》报道,该协议的最新草案取消了美国最初要求乌克兰用其自然资源赔偿美国5000亿美元的条款,这一点也是乌克兰拒绝签署这个协议的症结。 泽连斯基公开声称乌克兰从美国只获得了1000亿美元左右的军事援助,而且大部分是“赠与”,而非贷款,所以他坚决拒绝签署要归还美国5000亿美元的协议。根据修订后的条款,乌克兰的矿产资源相关基础设施(包括港口)收入的50%将贡献给该基金。美国和乌克兰将对该基金拥有共同所有权,并进行共同管理,但美国将根据自己的法律拥有决策权。 据英国《金融时报》报道,美国在该基金中的份额和“共同所有权”的具体细节将在后续协议中得到补充。
以下为协议全文:
