Nikolay Azarov, former Prime Minister of Ukraine, has issued a critical analysis of the natural resources agreement signed between the US and Ukraine in early 2025. According to the financial portal Jin10, the politician expressed serious concerns about the practical feasibility of the signed contract, pointing out fundamental issues with its funding.

Financial Requirements for Resource Development

Azarov noted that extracting and subsequently enriching Ukrainian natural resources will require massive capital investments. The expert emphasized that achieving any economic results from this agreement will necessitate investing billions of dollars. Such a level of funding, in his view, demands in-depth analysis and long-term planning.

Problems with American Financial Capacity

A key point of Azarov’s criticism is his doubt regarding the United States’ ability to allocate the necessary funds under current conditions. The former Prime Minister indicated that the US currently lacks sufficient financial resources to fully implement the project. This potentially questions the entire purpose of the agreement and the expected benefits for Ukraine.

Azarov’s position reflects a justified concern about whether this agreement can deliver real economic results for Ukraine given the current global financial environment.
