Ukraine’s Justice Ministry has hired the American-British law firm Hogan Lovells for assistance in negotiating a critical minerals deal with the United States, according to a filing under the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). <\/p>\n

The news comes as Ukraine and the U.S. began technical consultations<\/strong><\/a> on the minerals agreement on April 11. <\/p>\n

The Justice Ministry has retained Hogan Lovells U.S. as of April 9, according to a registration listed<\/strong><\/a> on the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) web portal. A source confirmed<\/strong><\/a> to Reuters on April 11 that the Ukrainian government has retained the firm.<\/p>\n

Hogan Lovells is an American-British firm with headquarters in Washington, D.C. and London. <\/p>\n

Additional details are not provided in the registration listing. The registration does indicate that the Victor Pinchuk Foundation<\/strong><\/a> hired the firm in 2023. <\/p>\n

The latest version of the minerals<\/strong><\/a> deal, an initiative U.S. President Donald Trump championed as a way for Washington to “recoup” military aid to Kyiv, reportedly grants<\/strong><\/a> the United States extensive control over Ukraine’s natural resources through a joint investment fund.<\/p>\n

A source who spoke to Reuters regarding the April 11 talks described them as “antagonistic” and unlikely to produce a breakthrough. <\/p>\n

“The negotiating environment is very antagonistic,” the source said, describing the latest version of the proposal as “maximalist” in its ambitions over Ukraine’s mineral wealth. <\/p>\n

Whilte the agreement would grant the U.S. unprecedented control over Ukraine’s natural resources, it still lacks any concrete security guarantees. \u00a0<\/p>\n

In an interview with the Times published April 11, U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg said<\/strong><\/a> that resumed negotiations on the minerals deal proved that relations between Washington and Kyiv were “back on track.” <\/p>\n

The official also acknowledged that the U.S. underestimated the complexities of such a deal. <\/p>\n

“It’s not a simple yes or no,” he said. <\/p>\n

“People didn\u2019t really understand the process as well as they should have.”<\/p>\n
