Some of the more onerous conditions have since been removed. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/25\/world\/europe\/ukraine-trump-minerals-explain.html\" title=\"\">Here\u2019s what\u2019s at stake<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A U.S. official said a final translated draft of the agreement was sent to Ukraine yesterday; this would first be signed by the U.S. Treasury secretary and his Ukrainian counterpart, before being signed by Trump and Zelensky in Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Details: <\/strong>The draft agreement said Ukraine would contribute half of its revenues from the future monetization of natural resources to a fund. The U.S. would own the maximum financial interest in the fund allowed under American law. The fund would also be designed to reinvest some revenues into Ukraine. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/25\/world\/europe\/ukraine-mineral-deal-trump.html\" title=\"\">Here\u2019s what we know<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Changing alliances: <\/strong>When it comes to the war in Ukraine, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/25\/us\/politics\/trump-diplomacy.html\" title=\"\">Trump has courted outlier states<\/a> like Belarus, North Korea and Russia, while standing against traditional U.S. allies.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-ad95483\">More on Trump and Ukraine<\/h2>\n<hr class=\"css-7ad88g e1mu4ftr0\"\/><\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-531036a2\">Syria\u2019s new leader called for national unity<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ahmed al-Shara, Syria\u2019s interim president, called <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/25\/world\/middleeast\/syria-national-dialogue-kurds.html\" title=\"\">for unity yesterday<\/a> at a two-day conference aimed at charting the country\u2019s future after decades of dictatorship. The gathering, in Damascus, brought together hundreds of people from Syria\u2019s many religious sects and ethnic groups, as well as journalists, community leaders and activists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But one major player was absent: The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, the U.S.-backed militia that controls much of Syria\u2019s northeast. The current government told the group that it would have to disarm and join a unified national military if it wanted to attend the dialogue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-64901b4f\">Britain plans to increase military spending<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Keir Starmer, the British prime minister, said yesterday that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/25\/world\/europe\/uk-defense-spending-starmer.html\" title=\"\">Britain would significantly raise its military spending<\/a> by 2027.

It would be paid for by scaling back on overseas development aid. Starmer said he regretted the cuts, but he presented them as a temporary measure in a challenging new security environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Context: <\/strong>Recent statements from Trump about Ukraine have reinforced fears that the U.S. is retreating from its decades-long commitment to Europe\u2019s defense.
