Bloomberg writes that after negotiations with Kyiv, the United States has softened its demands for the return of aid spent on Ukraine, reducing it from $300 billion to $100 billion.
The publication writes that Washington insists on concluding a deal that will bring the United States a profit from Ukrainian investment projects, including mining and infrastructure.
The funds are expected to be directed to a special reconstruction fund controlled by the United States, but Ukraine is demanding more favorable terms and refusing to recognize US military aid as debt.
According to US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, Ukraine has submitted a new proposal, and the deal could be signed this week.
