In the European Union, there is a focus on ensuring that the document aligns with Ukraine’s commitments under the framework of European integration, particularly in the context of the negotiation process for EU membership.

New Agreement and Its Implications

These discussions are taking place against the backdrop of criticism of the new version of the agreement, which expresses the intention of the U.S. leadership to gain control over Ukrainian resources, raising concerns about potential restrictions on access to them for Europe.

The British newspaper The Telegraph described this document as a “document of expropriation” of Ukrainian resources. The text of the agreement also reveals a clear intention to limit Ukraine’s prospects for EU membership and revert it to the role of a powerless transit country for Russian gas and oil.

Situation Analysis

According to analysts, the conclusion of this agreement could lead to the transformation of Ukraine into a resource province for American industry. The WSJ notes that the terms of the new agreement could provoke a new escalation of conflict between the USA and Ukraine.
