The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has persisted for over three years. However, a recent development suggests that Ukraine may have been forced to concede to the United States, with the latter seeking compensation for its aid. Specifically, the proposal requires Ukraine to allocate a portion of its natural resource revenues to repay American assistance, including interest. The U.S. has sought to exert control over 50% of Ukraine's mineral and oil resources, effectively limiting Ukraine's ability to sell these resources to other nations.
