Kellogg: Ukraine has agreed to 22 conditions for resolving the conflict with Russia

Ukraine is ready to allow Russia's de facto control over the occupied territories without legally recognizing them and not agreeing to it in the long term. This was stated in an interview with Fox News channel by the special representative of US President Donald Trump, Keith Kellogg.

"Ukrainians are ready to cede the territories that Russia actually occupies, although not to recognize it legally forever. They understand that when a ceasefire is established, each side will remain in its positions," Kellogg stressed.

According to him, Kiev is aware that if a truce is reached, the parties will remain in their already occupied positions.

The Special Representative of the President of the United States also noted that the Ukrainian side was presented with a 22-point peace plan developed by the United States. According to Kellogg, Kiev is ready to accept all the provisions of the document.

Earlier, Kellogg said that negotiations on an agreement between the United States and Ukraine's negotiations on minerals were delayed due to the need to translate and coordinate three documents at once. It was about a framework agreement and two technical documents — on the creation of a sovereign wealth fund and the distribution of obligations, explained Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

The deal was planned to be signed on April 30 around 14.30 (21.30 Moscow time), but Ukraine made last-minute changes, said US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. He stressed that the changes did not affect the essence of the agreements.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal confirmed his readiness to sign the framework document and finalize the rest later, but the United States insisted on signing all three at the same time.

According to the current version, the agreement will be a partnership agreement, excluding past military assistance, but with the inclusion of new supplies as contributions to the fund. Ukraine will retain control over resources and will offer new licenses for development. The investment period is 10 years.

According to Bloomberg, the US Treasury and the Ukrainian Ministry of Economic Development, the USA and Ukraine has signed an agreement on Washington's access to revenues from the sale of Ukrainian natural resources.
