00:00Washington and Kyiv have signed an agreement to invest in Ukraine's reconstruction after months of negotiations.
00:07A draft of a minerals deal included in the agreement, seen by Reuters, said the U.S. would get preferential access to natural resource deals with Ukraine.
00:18But it falls short of giving the U.S. an outright share of Ukraine's mineral wealth or any of its gas infrastructure.
