The Ukrainian side decided last night to make some lastminute changes.
We are sure that they will reconsider that, and we are ready to sign the agreement this afternoon if they are, Bessent added.
The US Treasury secretary did not specify what changes Ukraine was referring to, only saying it was the same agreement that we agreed to on the weekend.
There are no changes on our side, Bessent concluded.
Background Earlier today, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced that the framework agreement on critical mineral resources with the United States could be signed within 24 hours.
However, the Financial Times report suggests that Kyiv and Washington had disagreements at the last minute.
