(Reuters) - The Ukrainian parliament ratified a milestone minerals deal with the United States on Thursday, lawmakers said.
A total of 338 parliamentarians voted in favor of ratification, and no one voted against, said Oleksandr Merezhko, head of the Ukrainian parliament's foreign affairs committee.
The agreement grants the U.S. preferential access to Ukrainian mineral resources and paves a path for possible new military aid for Kyiv, although it lacks clear security guarantees.
