Ukraine has submitted its proposals on minerals deal to US – Stefanishyna

Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration and Minister of Justice, Olga Stefanishyna, said this on Ukrainian television, according to Ukrinform.

"It is already a positive sign that consultations are taking place. As of now, I can say that the Ukrainian delegation had the opportunity to present to the American side all the proposals that we prepared in Kyiv and which were agreed upon. All of them were subjects of discussion," she said.

She stressed that some agreements had already been reached.

"However, I expect that after these consultations, negotiations will continue until we reach an agreement. This is not the final round, obviously," Stefanishyna added.

Earlier, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha told Ukrinform that Ukraine had already developed its position and vision for the text of the minerals agreement.
