US Agrees To Link Ukraine Minerals Deal To Budapest Memorandum … As White House Appears To Remove Document

Ukraine and the United States are in final negotiations for a minerals agreement that will be linked to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, according to a document published by the Ukrainian government on April 18.

The document outlines plans for Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal to meet with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Washington on April 21 to negotiate terms for a reconstruction investment fund, with technical discussions expected to conclude by April 26.

Deputy Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko confirmed on April 17 that the new agreement represents “a step towards a joint Economic Partnership Agreement,” though additional work remains to finalize the text and secure signatures.

Yet amid these negotiations, social media users have discovered that the White House has removed the webpage dedicated to the Budapest Memorandum from its official website.

The Budapest Memorandum, signed by Ukraine, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom in 1994, provided security assurances to Ukraine after it relinquished the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal following the Soviet Union’s collapse.

While President Donald Trump reportedly told reporters on April 17 that an agreement could be signed as early as April 24, the webpage removal also comes as Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have suggested the US might withdraw from peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia if progress stalls.
