Despite the fact that much of the talk around the deal relates to Ukraine's mineral wealth, the agreement also includes provisions for oil, natural gas and other hydrocarbons.In all cases, the resources stay in Ukrainian ownership, even though the US will get joint access.
The inclusion of oil and gas has been seen as a softening of the Ukrainian position, since they were not in earlier drafts of the deal.Senior administration officials told reporters they believe that "more value" can be derived from these resources if the fighting ends quickly.Ukraine has long aspired to join the European Union and accession talks formally began last June.
